Several methods can be used more to make it harder, once it its online you really have not a great deal of control, but you can make them contact you in certain circumstances

Example

I like to use the analogy it’s a bit like a burglar looking for a house to burgle If they see signs, alarms, gates, dogs, cameras, heaver duty locks, etc, they will move on to an easier target.

This is a bit like the same game,

• Remove the copy and paste option, if they want your 20.000 character document then they will have to type it out, they will soon get bored
• use passwords,
• use water marks,
• use copyright marking,
• Place notification or popup about copyright theft, intellectual property theft, etc
• If you make videos use water marked backgrounds, and use marking so that if copied there is no dough that it is your work.
• With videos or text work, create a short snippet
o That way if they want the rest; make them contact you; for the video or article then you know at least where it went in the first instance,
o then make sure when you pass on the video or article, again make sure you use the copyrights, password protect, etc

In today’s world of the internet unfortunately anything is fare game, but I can appreciate your point,

Example:

My first IT job, my line manager said to me why re invent the wheel when it has already been created.

I could see his point, but I also understood that someone had worked hard on that document and it is not fare to use that work and pass it off as your own.

BUT then I was raised with respect and morals not all think like me.

If someone wants to steal other people’s data documents, work, videos, articles there’s not a lot that can be done, BUT, you can make it harder let’s review some of the earlier points

Documents do not use word; use DPF’s, remove the copy and paste, remove the print option, and use the copyright marking, watermark the background

Articles if you have a good article and want to protect it place a juicy snippet on line then they have to sign up or contact you for the rest.
Web pages, you can also use password protection, encrypt the source code

When creating documents or articles first create them in MS Word, watermark the background the save the document as a PDF, and then lock it down further then use the snippet and password method to access the rest. Make them contact you!!!

Videos are classic, look at YouTube most of the videos will have some form of watermarked background, they will have then credits, they will have marking of where to go for more, some are snippets like prep logic, you see 2 minutes for example but for more go to the website, or for private videos that if you want more you have to contact the creator of the video, or at the very least go to their site.

These people have created these videos and they want the viewer to know who they are, where they are IE webpage, and where to find more of there work.

In short what I am trying to say is make it you work and make sure that people can see that and if they want it they either have contact you or have to recreate that work from scratch themselves, like to burglar they will move on unless that is the only work that is available and in today’s world spend some time and I guarantee they will find it elsewhere online.

I hope this helps but fell free to contact me if you want any further help with some of these points

I will continue to hopefully add useful content that you will find both interesting, and rewarding. I am working hard on my studies at present that is divided between, networking, security and computer forensics, so that is why I do not get as much added to this blog as I like, BUT!!!!! I will try to update this blog more regular in future.

Thanks for the kind words
