I don't agree with destroying code or data, but a time lock that stops it from working after a certain period of nonpayment seems fine. Chances are they'll have to hire someone else to fix it. Make sure you put plenty of comments in there for the next person explaining that the reason they're in there is because you didn't get paid. At least that'll make the next person think twice. Really, though, if you haven't been paid for something, and you don't have the sort of relationship where you're confident you will be, don't deliver it in a way that gives them control. Keep it on a server where you have the password. Or perhaps keep some crucial files/functions on your server. miguel
