Another level of protection against copies

  Hello. I have a site (glock25.wordpress.com or glock25.com), and people are copying the contect I made for it. Sadly to say, I live in Brazil and nobody in the justice department cares about this.

  So, I would like to suggest for future WordPress versions/updates, an option for security in the configuration menu.

  1 – Give an option like “Disable External Hot Linking”.
  With this, if someone is trying to, for instance, see a picture you have on your wordpress, WordPress would check: hey, are you in the page where the picture is? No? Then it´s hot linking… no image for you.

  2 – Give an option like “No Selection/Copy is Permited”.
  This way, if someone tries to select the text on your wordpress blog/site, It would not be possible, and, if someone tries to copy and image (like….right click, save as), it would not have this option available.

  That´s it.

  Thanks for listening.

  Thank you for your suggestions, I’ll pass them on for consideration!

  Please be aware that any form of copy prevention will not actually prevent a determined individual from copying the text right from the blog’s source code, or even its feed.

  We do have two great guides for preventing and dealing with content theft, if you’re interested:
