This goes a bit farther, though: the filing attorney's name and address must be on these pleadings. The primary license key provided to the client gets decrypted at runtime with the user's public key. providing the name and address for the pleadings, as well as information about expiration date, privilege levels, and what-have-you. For someone else to use it, he will have to edit the pdfs (or possibly tamper with the running copy in memory). Aside from the name information, there are two types of license, one of which is needed: either an unlimited one (which also has the expiration date), or a per-use license, which is keyed to a particular client name and last 4 of social security number [which must be filed with the court, anyway]. Either of these is also dependent upon matching and generating part of the primary license. (53 bytes per packet just isn't quite enough, and to avoid mix & match, the second needs to depend upon the first). The filed PDF will sometimes end up in front of a federal judge, but *always* in front of a trustee. And sometimes creditor attorneys. The trustee's job is to look for assets, and he gets a commission on what he collects. And I offer a huge bounty/contingency fee for any attorney that finds the violations to file. > I wrote you on the side about the solution we are using for copy protection. > It might have landed in your spam folder. > You can experience the SpiceKit solution we developed by downloading one of > our products and registering it. > > try2020.com > Thank yiou, but I very much do not want to wrap this in another program. Aside from the additional dependency (and cost) it creates for me, I still have my own per-license to deal with (and the fact that the work behind all of these is already done)> -- Dr. Richard E.
