Website Content - Stop it From Being Stolen

You worked very hard writing original content for your website and designed each webpage for maximum effect. Then you added related photos, eye-catching graphics and clever HTML code, then published your site. Now you're ready to roll...

After a few weeks you noticed much of your hard work appearing on a few other websites and know that it must have been copied from you. That's not only unfair but it's outright robbery!

Unfortunately there's nothing much you can do to realistically get your content back or prosecute the other website owner.

What do you do next? How can you stop this from happening again?

Here's my solution:

Just add this little HTML code below to each page of your website and it will stop anyone in their tracks from being able to do it again.

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;<br /><br /><br />&amp;lt;script&amp;gt;<br /><br />var message="&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;The images on this page cannot be copied&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;.";<br /><br />function click(e) {<br /><br />if (document.all) {<br /><br />if (event.button == 2) {<br /><br />alert(message);<br /><br />return false;<br /><br />}<br /><br />}<br /><br />if (document.layers) {<br /><br />if (e.which == 3) {<br /><br />alert(message);<br /><br />return false;<br /><br />}<br /><br />}<br /><br />}<br /><br />if (document.layers) {<br /><br />document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);<br /><br />}<br /><br />document.onmousedown=click;<br /><br />&amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;<br /><br /><br />&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;

This is a "no right click" script that disables the right click menu option. Once you add this code on your webpage, any person trying to right click to copy any image or text will get a window that pops-up with the following message - "The images on this page cannot be copied".

You can change the text of the message that pops-up to the thief to anything you want by just modifying the words in the code listed in BOLD lettering (in this example; "The images on this page cannot be copied"). NOTE: I'm only showing the letters that can be modified in bold to highlight them for you. Do not "BOLD" anything in this code.

The one problem is that it only works with Internet Explorer. People that use other browsers like Firefox, etc. can still copy your content. At least you can greatly cut down on the amount of thieves that have access to your hard work.

I hope you put this code to use as quickly as you can on your website. I know first hand how hard it is to design a great website and would hate it if your work was stolen too. Good luck.
