I really strongly advise against this.
Your code will have bugs, simply because it is code. It is quite
likely that one of these bugs will one day prevent a legitimate user
who owns a real, legitimate Macintosh from using your software.
At that point, I would argue, the harm to that one user far outweighs
any minor, undetectable gain you could possibly get from such a
scheme.
