Regarding the "Rock Patch", I may be able to add a feature to check the user's RA2MD.EXE file for conformance to an uncracked exe. If the check fails, the patcher refuses to run.
It would essentially stop people with any kind of no-cd crack using the patch, thus strengthening the legitimacy of both it and the Community Patch.
Of course, it doesn't stop piracy altogether - there are three ways I can think of that would still allow people to get YR for free, but I won't go into them here.
Any increased protection has got to be worth it, yes?
It relies on RA2MD.EXE being the same for all languages.

Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
Believe me friend you're not the only one.
