It's just the same with java byte-code or machine code. FWIW, I had a
cracked (and localised) copy of Steinberg's Cubase midi sequencer v1.1
*before* v1.0 was publicly available in France... And believe me, they
had made their best to protect the software (dongle etc...).

The only secure way to protect "critical" code is to not distribute it -
make it run on your own server, and require the application to access
the server.
