[thelist] Flash Protection

It not clients I am worried about.  We have actual games online
(www.infinitecasino.com) that we have actually seen people place on their
site.  The benefit is that the flash client itself is as dumb as possible,
with all the actual game logic being handled by PHP, so the 'stealer' would
still need to create the game logic server side, though that isn't
difficult.

Do you know where I can find these decompilers?  Almost sounds illegal, heh.

In our industry, a copyright notice inside the script isn't going to do
much, unfortunately, as too many players are rather scrupulous.
