Like, I suppose you could intersperse the code with constant checks to the server, with some kind of unique "gameid" embedded in the game (posession of which is the proof that you've paid), - but even this seems rickety. In the olden days hackers use to go through *binary* to remove copy protection like this, how hard could it be with *source*??!! Know what I'm saying? So - what's the way out?

Legal problems have legal solutions.
