It's certainly an interesting field of thought with many ambiguities
but I do like the idea of being able to lock a creation with some
minor protection (which could perhaps easily be bypassed if you knew
what you were doing), mainly because it gives an increased sense of
power to the author and makes secrets feel 'different' and, well, more
secret... but it does stifle creativity - it's fun to look inside
other people's games to see how they work if need be, and I probably
learned a lot from opening up other people's games.

It's actually very easy to alter a JSW64 game so that it will not
load in JSWED, without affecting gameplay.
