        Lockable PDF.

        But what you're talking about is the same problem with every info marketing company.

        I am not kidding, other than a login for people to gain access in the first place those are the ONLY restrictions on my stuff. If someone wants to print it out, let them. If you go to http://twsmind.com/members there is the login to gain access to the site, but the content is totally unlocked.

        If they want to share it, let them ... well, I don't know about "let them" but trying to place restrictrions and making it difficult also means making the access difficult for the buyer and that's going to annoy them.

        Just put your URL and such at the top of the document. This way for the VERY few people that MIGHT share it, you get more customers because they'll want to check you out.

        I'm not kidding, sharing really isn't the boogeyman here especially since it's far less common than the software industry and hollywood lead you to believe.

        Very preciously few people will share your stuff out. Those few that do end up simply getting you more customers.

    hpgoodboy is right. The simple fact that someone is seeing something on their screen means you had to send some kind of data to them for them to see it. That means it's possible to capture and copy.

    Honestly however I've found people that do that to be good things. Some of the people that get copied versions of my stuff end up becoming my best customers.

    If you produce really good products then don't even worry about "sharing." Seriously it's your best friend and will make you a lot.
