The comments really show how Peldi thinks:
In the article he stated why he sees no point in making it hard to crack the code open, then someone posts this code and mentions that he is no pro hacker, but just was able to use his newbie-skills in flash because there was absolutely no obfuscation or something - and now Peldo is researching and asking for ways how he could do better.
Well that's fast learning. Im really impressed.
Hi there, this is Peldi. A little update: I will be trying out SecureSWF tonight, after a twitter friend recommended it: http://www.kindisoft.com/secureSWF/ - we'll see. :)
From the article: "I don’t do anything to protect against decompiling, and I’m not worried about it."
So I assume you've changed your mind a little, and you're now at least a little worried about it ;)
Yes, a little. The guy made a good point that making life harder to beginner-level hackers is a good idea, so that's what I think I'll do. I'll update the post after the dust settles a bit. :)

open barn door horseser.. conversion error
if it were one of my previous employers, they would've immediately sic'd lawyers, the fbi, homeland security, and anyone within shouting distance on the commenter. (the head of the legal department once got up at a quarterly meeting and ecstatically announced how many people had been prosecuted that quarter. there was an uncomfortable silence that followed, as everyone began expecting security cameras installed in every room. they started appearing shortly thereafter.)
the authors sense of humor about this and pragmatic outlook is appreciated, and in my mind, correct. do what you can, make it easy to buy, make it uninteresting to break, have free versions available for people who need them.
