- In my opinion, a keyfile is useless. You are basically just adding another
- file to your distribution.
- Pirates will simply distribute the program with the required keyfile, or
- they will decript the keyfile in the same way that your program does,
- extract any code or data that may be required, and add that to the main
- program, so that the keyfile is no longer required.
