Theme stolen

[Lord991]

How to protect your custom theme from being stolen ?
Is it possible to make life a little harder for thieves who only know how to steal, instead of making an effort and creating something original themselves?

I assume there is no way to prevent this from the SMF team, but how can I make their lives miserable? 

^{(sorry if this is in wrong board)}

You can't.

Any theme can be cloned if it can't be copied exactly and the content of the theme (at least the CSS and images) need to be sent to the browser for it to work.

You can't do much other than minify css/javascript.
Not really worth the time.

Even that isn't really worth it because browsers have sort-of deminifiers built in for debug purposes these days.
