Encoding won't stop anyone. You can dezend a script in just a few minutes. Search Google for "nullled scriptname" and you'll usually find whatever you want already decoded.

How many legit customers are scared away by encoded scripts? My new policy is to never buy an encoded script.

The question is which causes a coder to lose more money, piracy or potential legit customers scared off by encoded scripts.
