In any event, reverse engineering or not, there are plenty of landmines and obfuscation techniques that will buy us many months of time before the security is compromised (even if it is illegally compromised).
There are encrypted portions of code which will be in the final release that aren't even going to get used for quite some time, we will be activating these additional security methods as the existing ones get broken.
True, even these additional hidden techniques will eventually be broken, but I have planned for that, instead of assuming that the protection methods are unstoppable.
Fortunately, with peer to peer software, frequent updates ensure that we will be able to combat the evils of corporate hacking as they appear.
