Each Andorid app is obfuscated by ProGurd. If I'm in the jury and I can easily cut/paste - than that is on you. Obfuscation has to get better in HTML5. There are now some paid tools that obfuscate CSS and HTML5 variables, not just Base64, and inject that it can run on only one domain. Did they do any of that?

Android applications are compiled, so they can be obfuscated. Web applications do not work that way at all, and proper obfuscation is impossible. There will always be a way to reverse this, and the actual content shouldn't be obfuscated anyway, as this would have severe negative effects on SEO. Other than that, just because you can steal other people's hard work doesn't mean you should. You clearly do not understand this situation.

  'Web applications do not work that way at all' You clearly do not understand the tech. Most (good) web sites are SASS, and that gets compiled for one. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

    What. SASS doesn't get compiled, it gets transpiled to CSS, which is human-readable. Trolling?

  Thank you - that is my point. But: they try! To not do anything is silly. I lock the door to my house. Can you pick a lock: Yes. And that is the point. Do something.

  If you left the door open to your house and did not lock it - then it is on you. Lock the door. Yes you can pick a lock, but that is not my point. Do something.
