How do I protect my HTML 'source' from being copied, and how do I
protect from folks copying and pasting my content?
Thanks

You can't. Read the thread earlier in this group from yaYPee titled "how to
password protect files/images". If you don't want people to be able to copy
it, don't publish it on the Web.

OK,
I can't protect someone from copying my site.
So,
So, let me ask this:
1) By posting an article to the web, Is that considered copyrighted?
2) If so, how could I prove that I posted it first?
I'm honestly considering a notarized (dated) letter containg the text of the
site. Maybe someone has a better idea.
Thanks again

That is a great idea - provided that the ideas are uniquely yours. You
cannot post other's ideas and say, "I posted it first".

Sure you can. http://www.vortex-webdesign.com/help/hidesource.htm
As soon as it is published in any form, including electronically, it is
subject to copyright.

Don't upload it to a website.
html coding is not yours to protect. It's "public domain" and can be used by
anyone any time.
if you have it on a website, there is a way for someone to copy and paste
it.
Copyrights protect only YOUR original work and that may be hard to prove if
what you have is farily common as it is.
Just because it's on your website doesn't mean you own it.

Wrong. A page marked up with HTML is most certainly subject to copyright.
True, the individual components of the page, like a <p> tag, are not, just
like the ++ operator in C++ is not copyright, nor is the word "the" used in
a novel. However the page is copyright, just as the C++ program and the
novel are.
True, but when you find out about it you can order them to ceace and desist.
You can even sue for damages if you can prove damage (in some contries one
has to register the copyright to be able to do this).
It is dreadfully easy to prove a particular page belongs to me. I just
exhibit the high resolution image that I have, from which the low resolution
web page friendly one was derived. You will never have that high resolution
image. I do, so I can prove the work is mine.
Wrong. If I build it then I own it. Before you go any further I suggest you
contact a lawyer who is familiar with copyright law

One method that is popular is:
1. Burn the site onto a CD-R.
2. Put the CD-R in its sleeve.
3. Put the sleeve in a well-padded envelope.
4. Write your own address on the envelope.
5. Put a stamp on the envelope and post it to yourself.
6. When you receive the envelope back through the post, note that
it bears the sending date on the postmark. Put it away for safe
keeping.

What do you think you're going to protect?
If it is your actual HTML source, well the mere fact that you ask the
question means you're not writing anything worthy of protecting.
If it is your "artwork" and images, you're no Ansel Adams or Vincent Van
Gogh
If it is your literary creation to the world, I guarantee you're no Tolstoy
or Dickens
I can get the works of all these people - http://www.anseladams.com/

So what makes you think YOU are so special?

The "poor man's" copyright does not hold up in court (at least not in
the US)

Send it certified mail so there's record of the signature and date it was
received and do not open the envelope.

Karl - it's MrRogers. According to him, we're ALL special...

Will not stand up in court. Example - I mail an empty envelope to myself.
Then I wait till some new hotness is released. I reset the date on my
computer, burn the disk, put it in the envelope and seal it.
Best thing to do is actually register your copyright with, in the US, the
Library of Congress. No idea what the fee is, but that's the only
foolproof way to show you have this intellectual property at this time.
Courts will see the envelope trick as suspect as the normal route for
registering copyright was not taken.

Agreed, That works for me. That's all I could expect.

Coincidentally, Bullis has been corrected for his inability to comprehend
copyright law innumerable times over the past couple of years in
and it never sinks in to the k00k skull.

Wrong, L4EM.
Well, *you* own nothing on your k00ksite, but that doesn't apply to others.
