Like I said, I'll let Fabian answer the tech stuff. My days of being a "tech guy" are long gone now so I'll let him handle it when he wakes up in the morning.

As far as the legal thing. I'm pretty sure "hacking" which decompiling source code is considered is illegal in most countries with indoor plumbing.
Decompiling source code is not considered hacking. Our legislation defines hacking as "obtaining unautohrized access to a computer system via a telecommunications device." We don't have the DMCA; we don't have crazy copyright laws. So thank you for your insight, but you're wrong.

Moreover, who said I was going to decompile?

Regardless, it should be commended that you take such a strong stance against shaving/bonusing. However, your clients may not share that stance and I'd say there'd be very little you could do to prevent that.

My argument is purely shaving is possible in any program. People who think otherwise are being naive. If NATS makes this as difficult as possible, that's fantastic. But it is far from impossible.
