I downloaded the [Sothink SWF Decompiler](http://www.download.com/Sothink-SWF-Decompiler/3000-6676-10318101.html?tag=l), which allows you to open and view the structure of a .swf file. (the unregistered version limits the amount of actionscript you can view). It even can resave as a .fla file.

Does it concern anyone that when you host your Flash code and applictions, it is basically open sourced, whether you want it to be or not?
