title: How to stop pirates? Someone already nulled and pirated my script :(
body: <p>I dont know what to say. About 3 days ago I released a script to the public. Today I realised, after searching on google that someone had already nulled (removed my protection) and pirated the script.</p>
  
  <p>How do I stop users from pirating the script? It is written in PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Please help or suggest some solutions.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> By releasing to the public means that I have started selling it to users.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> My program is priced at only $49. Very reasonable for the functionality it offers. I do not understand how I should stop pirates from pirating my code. The replies which most people have given are rather sarcastic. I was hoping for some good advice. I know there is no silver-bullet. But some techniques which you have used in your PHP programs.</p>
