Hiding password in Lua-script

[Flexman]

I think if you can say you took measures to encrypt content to protect it then you're covered. That's really what's important. I created software for Wal-Mart used in legal cases which was all about liability and taking reasonable steps; sweeping vegetable aisles every 20 mins, barrier maintenance, safe locking, POS point of sale cleaning, the list of things you must do daily runs into the thousands. So long as you've done what can be demonstrably be reasonably done and complied with the license requirement you're good even if content is still ripped.

I'd say Daimour's effort is definitely good enough.

 

It doesn't matter if it's not 100% secure, as nothing ever can be, but as Flexman said, all that's important is that reasonable measure was taken. And Encrypting/password protecting assets is considered a reasonable measure - like locking the door to your house is considered a reasonable measure to keep unwanted people out. Just don't leave your key in the lock (hide password). Sure there are some people who can pick a lock, and the door can be forced open by just anyone who's determined enough, but then they can't use sleepwalking as an excuse for getting inside your house in court! As breaking in by picking a lock is a fully conscious act as is circumventing copy protections etc(which in itself is breaking the law), one can't simply argue they didn't know what they were doing.

But more importantly, the effort and or risk is usually not worth the spoils to the majority and is enough to deter them from it (or they give up quick enough), which is probably the best you can do (with reasonable efforts).
