No artist whether a singer, painter or even a writer likes to have his/her work stolen and reproduced with minor changes and then claimed as an original by the unscrupulous usurper.

I noticed alot of my flash works being stolen when I used to work for companies, there was just not way to secure my work in the flash creation field. I then decided to create swfprotect 1.6 whch would change everything and protect any flash source code file. I put the price very low so other flash artists would have no problem in protecting themselves.
