One of the biggest problems that we face trying to make money online are the evil *****ers who go around stealing our content and placing it on their own site. It happens at Cash Quests on a daily basis and while it can usually be stopped by a threatening e-mail that mentions how you’ve contacted the offender’s ISP, it’s a problem that I’m sure you’d rather not have to deal with. It’s time to fight back!

Help is here!

Most of your content will be stolen via your RSS feed when the thieves create a site that automatically creates content from a set of feeds. However, there are still many thieves who will manually “copy and paste” your content on to their own site.

This can be stopped via placing a little piece of javascript in your template that disables text highlighting on your site so that the content can’t be copied.

Here’s the code:

<script language=”JavaScript1.2″>

function disableselect(e){
return false
}

function reEnable(){
return true
}

document.onselectstart=new Function (”return false”)

if (window.sidebar){
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</script>

I’ve heard that the code may not work with some browsers but I’ve tested it under the latest version of Firefox and IE6 and it works perfectly. If it makes content theft just a little harder for one person then I’m sure you’ll be happy!

One downside of the code is that it seems to prevent users from typing in your text boxes too. This means that visitors won’t be able to use any search or email-subscription boxes on your site. Hence, it obviously won’t be useful for every site but would be well suited to static landing pages.

Another downside is that it becomes a little harder for others to quote you!
