Now that you have finished your great ebook or software program, how do you stop others from copying it and using it illegally? If the thought of someone copying, distributing or even selling your information without your consent bothers you, you need to consider adding some form of protection to your copyright material.

Realistically, no protection is 100% secure. Someone somewhere will be able to hack your file, BUT you must keep in mind that if you choose a protection method that is fairly comprehensive, most people will not have the ability to hack it. And of those that do, the time involved will not make it worthwhile to them.

Thieves are usually lazy and want a fast way to grab the info, so they will look for the easiest way to do this.

If you protect against these simple things, your file will look less desirable to them. Most hackers and thieves will move onto an easier file to rip off.

The 5 things you must protect against are:

1. Copying the file

A user simply copies the entire file and distributes it to others. If there is a password required, they simply pass along the password as well. Fortunately, this is easy to prevent and there are many third party systems that protect against this sort of theft.


2. Printing to PDF
If your ebook is a PDF file, the next easiest and FREE way to illegally copy your information is to print to PDF . All a user has to do is grab one of those free PDF printers like pdf995.com and just print your file. So simple, but ignored by almost all http://file-secure.com">ebook Protection systems.

Thieves want something fast and cheap. Printing to PDF is fast and free. Allowing printing makes your PDF file easy game and it will be gone in less than 60 seconds!
