anti piracy

A search for threads in the Main Marketing Forum with the word "security" in their titles will bring up quite a few threads, I think.

It's one of those subjects on which people have very widely varying ideas. I never cease to be surprised by some of the comments I see people making about it.

Some people seem to believe that it entails "negativity" even to discuss this hugely important issue (which makes me wonder if they also think that about locking their front doors when they go out).

Some people apparently believe that if you can't have 100% security (which you can't) you shouldn't even bother trying to have the 95%/99% security you can quite easily achieve.

And others seem to imagine that protecting just the download page without also protecting the product itself is going to have great value in preventing file-sharing, illegal uploads to torrent sites, and so on (hard to understand that perspective?).

There are even apparently people who unaccountably believe that "pirates" aren't costing vendors anything much, because "people who steal illicit downloads were never going to be paying customers anyway" (this one is nonsense, of course - sadly, the world is full of people who, when they want to read an internet marketing e-book, in particular, will search high and low online for a free copy and then buy it only if they can't find one!).

I have no products to protect, myself, but I very much like the look of e-Junkie's PDF-stamping device, which I think must surely inhibit/prevent/deter the great majority of problems? :confused:

Good question and great answer from Alexa ... thanks for info..

thanks, I will thank your post but I can't find the thanks button! :/
