Is there any such things? If not then why not implement such so one can have some fun protecting ones property? I for instance could definitly see some use for them when creating protection schemes.

there is no such thing as property, but as this is a current misconcept which has been dragged through history for quite some time it will take some more to correct. even the impression that there is someone, for example "you" as an individual, is a fundamental misconception which can be very fun or very sad. meanwhile you could say loan instead of property to express it a bit more precise. and how you say having fun protecting your property - do you also have fun putting electric fences around your house? this sounds almost sarcastic. finally, encryption sucks and any development time invested in this is wasted, there are much more important things to add and correct. computers also dont like to do it.

Last I remember CRC isn't encryption? You can use CRC on any file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

I know that CRC is not an encryption, but it would definitly be handy to get the current CRC of the running DLL. This way it would be simplier to prevent hackers from getting at your files.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
