Demo version and piracy protection

Hi there, I would like to offer a demo version for my next plugin, with sporadic noise or silence (eg 5 sec every minute or so). The question is how to do such a thing without having something too easy to hack like a counter and an if statement in the process block. Any idea or experience you could share on the matter would be much welcome
