RE: [PHP] Genus who came up with "Self Destruct Code" & "Copy Pro tection"

I don't think you can in any way. And I don't think that we can here figure out a perfect copy protection, since even microsoft (they have to be pretty good programmers) can't do it. They've tried many ways.. If someone wants to steal your program, they can do it someway, no matter how you protect your code. So, as many has said: Trust is what you need.

But what if you sell a product and you want to keep control of the copies? How can contracts help you if you don't even know who actually uses the product and how many copies of it? For example, think you made a great bulletin board system and sell it to ISP's or webdesign companies. How can you control on how much sites it is really used?
