Overview

About this plugin

The fact is the internet is open can lead to theft especially to content stealing and plagiarism.

Until now, there was very little to discourage and deter this serious crime. Yes content theft and

plagarism is a crime in some jurisdictions.

You cannot rely on others or the authorities to continue to police the internet as they

do not have enough resources. You need to protect your content and deter this theft.

The basic form of content theft is to copy and paste your content to another medium.

Well Houdini, prevents this using a little known special algorithm that prevents copying by

making the selected text that is targeted by the perps to be copied, to disappear! Yes disappear!!!

The only way to recover is to reload the page in the web browser. If they try again, the content

disappears again. As long as they keep trying to select and copy your content, the content will disappear

before they can get a chance to execute the copy command!

After a few unsuccessful attempts, the theives will move on to a easier target.

A user became very critical whether houdini can actually protect you from content thieves, and that

user gave five critical breaches that was claimed unprotectable. Well, houdini now protects from those

breaches either directly or indirectly by giving you tips for your theme modification.

Additional tips for protecting pages when javascript is disabled at the browser-level, prevent a page

from being printed, embed a watermark to pages for screen capturers, disable RSS and password protect

oages.

Your are safer!
