That's too bad and I can emphathize as my profession was computer science 
before I retired. Unfortunately having a program cracked just goes with the 
territory of programming. Only when the programs become huge or very 
specalized are the crackers likely to find it "not worth the effort". 
Disassemblers are relatively easy to write and decompilers are even easier 
as there are fewer commands.  We had to write working compilers in college 
and that was at the undergrad level.  The last half of the class was 500 
level though.
