I have been programming since 1975, and through all the years, different assemblers, program languages, and platforms have come along.

30 years ago, theft of proprietary code did not seem as prevalent as it is today.

It's a total bummer to be able to design and develop very useful original stand-alone tools (programs), only to have them, almost instantly, hacked and resold by thieves - especially in the porn industry.

Even though most "apps" are internet dependent, I prefer to develop downloadable stand-alone desktop applications, where the user can "update" as they choose, and does not require a constant internet connection.

This also puts the entire processing load on the user's machine (no expensive server loads/nefarious traffic to manage).

Is anyone here developing software applications for either stand-alone or even web-based environments?

What application encryption/protection "wrappers" do you recommend?

Thanks!
