Ok. I got a question: If some one bust your code, so you can *really* think he done it. If the device that you suspect carry your stolen code is protected.. how do you will adquire proves against the buster to demostrate that is *your* code without busting the 'offending' device, and at the same time avoiding play lawyers games about who busted who? I think that the same external pin reaction to the same external pin excitement is not a solid court argument. I am wrong about that? And this is not OT, I think. Is pure and hard PIC industrial surveillance and countersurveillance. Keep on PICing
