Title: RE: [internetworkers] Re: Knockoff Site

ZDNet has shareware that will somewhat protect your source code.  It isn't fullproof, but it keeps amateurs from stealing your work, since in most cases it IS amateurs that steal it because they don't know what the #$^$ they are doing in the first place.  I found this site that has two downloadable shareware programs.  I havn't tried them so I don't swear by them, but you might want to give it a try and see if it helps.

Yep. It's extremely common. Folks like Jeff Zeldman and Lance Arthur are
always getting ripped off, but I've started seeing more and more small-time
goofball Web designers rip off corporate sites as well. It's so widespread
that it's difficult to find a good list of all the ripoffs. I know Derek
Powazek was going to launch a site that would shame them into submission,
but I don't think he ever did. Cam Barrett was keeping track of them, too,
for a while, but it's really so common (and so irritating, as Joe no doubt
knows by now) that he gave up in disgust.
