Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can copyright protect my webpage and text to
prevent it from being copied on the net?
I appreciate anyone's help.
Many thanks,
Dori

You can put a copy right notice on your page.

But as far as stopping people from copying your 'page' or 'text', quite
simply, you can't.

Of course, you can add some Java script to the code to prevent 'select all,
right click, copy' bandits, but that doesn't really work because you can
still copy from the Edit menu. There's probably a script that prevents that
too, but then by viewing the source code, they can copy the content just as
easily. And, there are scripts out there to jumble the source code or
prevent it from being view, too. So you could add all that code to your
pages. However, through screen capture or a program like 'Snag-it', any one
who visits your site can get whatever they want.

Basically, you have to decide which is better for you; will posting certain
information help or hurt you?

Not putting things on your site protects you from Web bandits, but doesn't
do anything to attract new visitors or potential customers.

Putting information up leaves you open to bandits, but may increase your hit
count or potential customer base.

Sad but true, it's up to you.

Hello again James

I don't actually know how to add a java script or what the code would be.
Are you able to help me with this? I'd really appreciate it and thanks.

Hi,
Tom's point is you can't stop people taking your stuff - which is true
enough but doesn't really help much. What you need to look at is what to do
when your stuff is stolen. Most of us when we first put up a site think it's
so brilliant other people will be lining up to steal it - 90% of the time
that's nonsense. So before you spend time worrying about copyright ask
yourself two questions
1/ Is your content really good enough for people to take?
2/ Do you actually have evidence that your content is appearing on other
sites?

If you can answer yes to the either of the above you need a strategy in
place to locate stolen content and shut it down. Stolen content falls into 3
categories - images, text content and javascript

1/ Images. If you're a talented artist, you'd probably make your money in 2
ways. Selling your images on the web, in which case stick your company name
through your images. The user can see the quality of your work but won't
bother taking it. Or selling "work for hire" to a client in which case
copyright isn't your concern. You can also watermark your images, so at
least when you find one that's stolen you can prove it your's - the hard
part is finding it.

2/ Text Content. This is easy to track down. For example I have a site that
sells cell phones, each phone has a professionally written review. Every
friday I run a script that searches google for a specific phrase in the
reviews and every time I find at least one that's been lifted from my site,
most of them word for word copy and paste jobs.

3/ Javascript. If you're a scripter you'll know how to make your code hard
to copy. As with images the hard part is finding infringements.

It's important to know who your competitors are so you can know who's likely
to steal your content. For all of my sites I know every other site in the
marketplace and can find new ones on google as they appear. if a sites not
in Google I'm not going to be worried about them. If someone that wasn't
competing with me stole scripts/images etc I probably wouldn't be too
concerned as they're not going to take money out of my pocket.

Bottom line to this, if you're a talented writer/designer/javascripter you
will have your content stolen - no question about this. Forget about
preventing it - you can't. Just make sure you have a strategy in place to
find and attack the offenders. Go to the host as well as the site owner the
host generally has more money to lose so will be quicker to switch off a
site. Google will also ban a site if you can show copyright infringement.
Even if the site owner ignores you, if he can't host and can't get into
Google he's going to have major problems. You also need to chase up every
infringement you find, however trivial it may seem. One defence to copyright
infringement is that the owner did not aggressively pursue every
infringement.

The only exception to the above is if your stuff appears on a site hosted in
China or eastern Europe. They don't play by our rules, crooks basically, so
don't even think about getting redress.

Bottom line to this, while you can't stop people taking your content you can
have a strategy to stop people benifitting from your content. You'll never
win - it's a constant battle - but all we have on the web is our content so
fight hard to protect it and don't be put off by people saying "you can't
stop people downloading your code/images"

I think I just heard that in the UK that even programs are not patentable now...or maybe the issue is currently undergoing review (?)

Anyway, the sad fact is that inforcing trademark,servicemark, and copyrights is incredibly expensive (i've been there)...you have to actually prove your monetary damages - which is a LOT harder to do than you may think...and if the infringer has deeper pockets than you...throw in the international factor created by the web...and ferget it!

Thanks Jon. It seems I have a long way to go and a lot to learn. I
appreciate all your advice.
