I hope that coding is the right forum for this. I have put about 750 website addresses into an Excel Spreadsheet with 5 columns of descriptions etc. This will expand to more than 3000 sites soon. I want to post this on my website and have people pay a subscription to view the information. I want to make sure that no one can copy the information from the site but that they can read it whenever they want to. I would like them to be able to click on a url and be taken there. I cannot find a way to protect my work without an expensive compiler most of which charge by the user. I thought about making the spreadsheet an image but then no one could click on the web addresses and it could still be copied. If I put it into PDF format, so many people have readers and copiers that it wouldn't be really secure. This website will be updated daily so it needs to be simple and quick.

Do you have any suggestions or can you point me in a direction. It has been more than a year since this site has been finished but I have not been able to get it up yet because of this problem. It is very frustrating and I don't want to lose my work to thieves.

Thanks.

In my idea and experience, it's impossible to protect the website content being copied you just can make it more difficult for them.
Anyway whatever a person can see on the monitor can be copied.

1- Deny right click using Javascript if it's html but still they can save your page easily.
2- Convert to image, the image can be easily copied.
3- Pdf is the easiest to be saved on user computer.

I think the best way is to combine using flash and php so that the report will be shown in flash coming from an external xml report made dynamically by a php script.

Btw, you started the idea of an advanced content protector in my head.
I have some ideas but need free time to start /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
