Fed-up With Right-Clickers Stealing Your Writing? There Is A Simple Way To Stop 90% of Them! Your website should be an example of your work quality. However, your sample writing, website coding tricks, hard to design front page can be easily stolen. As you know, I like to prove what I say. On your website, any page, go to the top of the browser and click <edit> and then select page source. Sometimes, it is a simple CTRL U key combo. There it is, all the coding for your page. Anyone can highlight your entire page, go to their site on an empty page. In the coding, they do a CTRL V combo. ALL YOUR INFORMATION IS STOLEN, including $100's of dollars of programming. Now you can spend $17, $27, or money for a programmer to help. I do not like to see DP members hard personal writing work stolen, so this is free on me. (and you thought I only knew about writing articles) Simply place the following one line of code after the opening <body> tag of your HTML and it will keep most of the "non-hackers" from accessing their "right-click" context menu. <body oncontextmenu="return false"> Try it. Plus, it makes it harder for visitors to escape viewing what you offer a little harder. Let me know if it works for you.----------------
This might work for a Mac If you want to deter users from copying the content from your website, this script will DISABLE the RIGHT-CLICK function on the users mouse.

Of course it is easy to see and copy html code and then use it somewhere else but there is one important thing to mention: if you have a website created with html and css it is no longer so easy because css file is only on your server and nobody will copy it easily. But as far as the content is concearned you're right. Well, maybe I will try if this code works for my website
Disabling right clicks just annoys users. If someone wants to steal you content they can use the browser view source feature, or save the page to their computer and edit is as they like. That saves the entire page including images and external css and js files, so its not any harder to get the css and js. Or they can just highlight the text and use the keyboard short cut (eg control c on windows) to copy the text. I'll say it again, disabling right click just annoys users, and does nothing to protect the content.
YOU ARE RIGHT WITH YOUR ANSWER. However, 75% to 80% of computer users know nothing of your knowledge about this. 10% that do know, leave fearing you have planted a hidden virus. One of my sites gives a blunt warning-plus the code is scrambled. I have been hacked, it is not fun afterward. (sort of like an alarm system, it does not scare everyone away. But rather then take any chances, even the smarter ones move on) DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WORD PRESS SITES HAVE admin admin as passwords? As to the further above question. Many people are adapt to using their mouse so much, they forget their is a back arrow often at the top of the browser, or tabs, so they browse longer. (cannot tell you how many millions of $$$$ yearly that brings in --- also could say that is one of the strategies of miles long sales copy. Crooks are crooks, just do not encourage them. --------------------------------------------
Anything online can be hacked or stolen. You can not prevent it. However, incorporating some code proving its yours works well when sending a C&D to their host in most cases Also encrypting the vital parts is a good and free option. No need for a programmer, just encrypt and re-upload
Different sides to the spectrum: Someone who gives his work away freely: http://zenhabits.net/open-source-blogging-feel-free-to-steal-my-content/ Someone who shares what to do if your content is stolen: http://writersweekly.com/this_weeks_article/000501_11132002.html
Good Point made. Some rude remarks by someone who sells Steroids to anybody (over the internet), did not like one of my posts. From Latvia, it beeped my 10 layers of security actively, between 2 different IP addresses rotating. Without the protection, not just my data, but computer would have been toast. Now Google has a share site up and run, you can allow articles also. Inkcreativestudios or anyone know about this? An if we post any free shared information, do you know if Google gives us their big Page Ranking stamp of approval or link back to a site? if you know, I think it could benefit many here. I personally do not mind willingly sharing, but stealing other people's creative artwork or programming is sometimes going a little to far. By the way, you should see how secure the steroid, seller who brags about stealing, has his web site guarded. Yes Kraven2 CNet.com has free scrambling programs to download, that scramble your code, this is really important to someone that sells something. You are perfectly right, good angle. ----------------------------------------------------have a good day, and Ink keep your helpful tips coming, I am sure many have already benefited from them---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You don' t need to download anything. There are plenty of online encryption utilities available. You past the code, and get the encrypted code back, that you paste in the page. Then re-upload and you are done. Take care to only encrypt the parts that actually need protecting though, as encryption tends to make your page bloated, and load slow, if you encrypt the whole page. Just a little detail that is important As for graphical stuff, ALWAYS watermark the hell out of it. Lazy thieves won' t remove it, and those you can actually take to court. I made good money that way, going after the SOBs that ripped my wife's photos(She obviously is a photographer )
HERE is what I use on one of my wife's sites. *********************************************************************************** *Copyprotection for this site. is provided by WP-CopyProtect v1.9 *RightClick Disabled, DO NOT COPY. Violators Prosecuted *********************************************************************************** Kraven- here is a way to test your idea. If you use the Firefox Brower, download SeoQuake and set the install option for your mouse. Go to the mixed code page, by using CTRL U to view the code. Now "x" out an go to the regular shown page. With your right mouse movement, select Keywords Density. If the words show, then Google can read it. If not – not a good option. --------------------------------------hope this helps------------------------------
Bots won't be right-clicking... and if they do, they've already seen your content so it will get indexed. It's the humans which you have to worry about. All copy protection makes the thing being protected more fragile. As long as your copy protection doesn't interfere with the humans who are your customers, there is no problem. If your customers like to print your articles so they can put it on their bulletin boards and you don't let them do that, then you're irritating your customers. If your customers use a browser or a browser add-on which makes your site look unpleasant due to the copy protection, then you have a problem. Unfortunately, it will be hard for you to know whether you're irritating your customers. Provide easy feedback mechanisms and keep an eye on them.
Excellent advice, and thanks for clearing up that part up about the indexing spider bots. I did not know that part after all these years, and know I know. See you helped me out too. Have a good day.
