The other day I was going through my activity logs on my server and discovered that there have been people downloading vast amounts of my images and source code etc! First I was angry – you know how dare they! Then I was determined to stop them… so I began searching for ways that would stop them. Quite fruitless to be honest as I discovered you can make it harder but not stop them completely and if people want to be unethical and steal stuff then they are going to do it no matter what I do to stop them.

During my research, I stumbled on this website: http://www.drpeterjones.com/hidden/hidden.php where the author basically said, the harder you make it for people to copy, the harder they will try and gave a very interesting example. Took me a little while to “crack it” but I did in the end and the crazy thing was that it was a easy as he said it was. After I had cracked his code, a light shone and I went “ahhh so easy!!” and had a bit of a giggle.

So basically I have come to the conclusion that I should be flattered that people want to steal my stuff (what the!?!), but if you think that my work is good enough to pinch, the least you could do is leave a comment telling me how much you enjoy looking at my work!
