&lt;em&gt;Anyone who can read/write the script can hack it to avoid your checking mechanisms. There's no use in copy protecting your scripts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;small&gt; see &lt;a href=http://www.andromeda.com/people/ddyer/java/decompiler-table.html&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=http://jode.sourceforge.net/links.php&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt; for examples.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;
