And I am pretty sure PopCap is watching many pvz fan groups, mostly our wikia and the CC one, for ideas and improvements. I am sure that, because of us, PopCap is aware of the all leaks (inlcuding but not limited to : Vs, russian and chinese groups, etc)

And I am as sure that they dont care that much (or, on the opposite, they are happy to have some reactions at the new content before it is releashed, so they can improve it or change it) (somethimes they do so, somethimes they choose to keep their settings)

About the encryption part, they just wanted to make it a bit more difficult, maybe they trough that there where a bit to many guys leaking the content, so the encryption will reduce their numbers a bit, and also would made it a bit more challenging.
