Piracy Prevention For Commercial Reshade Products

I am interested in commercially selling a product (complex cinematic post effect) for Reshade users.
I would like to ask if the Reshade devs can give tips on how to mitigate piracy of commercially sold shader tools / presets, such as IMMERSE PRO and IMMERSE ULTIMATE.
As shaders are basically readable text files, I would like to know what steps could be taken to reduce the possibility of someone redistributing the files without authorization.
I am also wondering about commercial release distribution methods, and if there are any good alternatives to using Discord, such as maybe a private distribution only repo with generated user access tokens for paying customers or something.
I understand that the Reshade devs are not lawyers, and I am not asking for legal advice.
If you can comment, but would like me to move this talk to your discord server, please let me know.

ReShade is all about open source (and being free), so there is intentionally no built-in method to obscure source code. I also wouldn't really recommend doing so by other means like the add-on framework: whatever one does wouldn't be particularly difficult to bypass. So to avoid making things a chore for honest users, better to just keep it simple and open.
