I did notice that MacsBug symbols are still in the game, which suggests that
devoted hackers could defeat this scheme.  Then again, devoted hackers have
proven that any scheme I've ever heard of can be defeated.

Note that I'm in no way suggested that someone should use MacsBug to defeat
the scheme and pass copies around - I write software for a living too.
