well, the point is that most ppl that rip, can and will avoid the protection(s) if they really want to. As for blocking just the average user from ripping you can try a few things..
1. Rename the .mrc/.ini file to something like .zip,.exe,.dat (a different extention) This will throw the average person off in the main file itself.
2. Open the editor, and change font to something not easily read like Wingdings. Also make the font size extremly small, and difficult to read.
3. Make the files in the mirc folder hidden. Most users have "Show all hidden or system files" disabled. This will prevent them from seeing them in the mirc folder.
Just some ideas >:D
