Usually people like the H20 crew have a kernel debugger like SoftICE and set it to trap at the call to the registry, backtrace, and patch.

not that i would dl a cracked version, but i'm just curious
And no, I have no involvement with H20 etc. ... just happen to know this. I'm studying computer science, remember?
FL Studio (upto v5) works perfectly with a (anyone's legit) registry key. Same for the demo plugs. There is no patching required of any FL exe/dll. Simple as that.
I am glad that IL (apparently) sees that employing any complex copy protection would be virtually useless. I like the fact that they focus their resources on making a supremely awesome host even better, and also on providing added value that comes with buying the software (free updates for life, access to looptalk, samplefusion, etc.). The price at $150 is not half-bad either.
We all know that they do get cranky sometimes, but I'll save that story for a separate thread.
