Protecting Your Ebook Contents from Online Thieves

By © Arthur, The Online Biz Home

After finished writing the contents for your information product, the next best thing to do is to put it for sales on the internet.  Before going online with your info product, you have to decide how you want your contents to be sold to the buyer who are interested to purchase your info product.

You can't possibility sell it to them as a Microsoft Word Documents as the buyer can easily copy your contents and re-packaged it into another info product to be sold online.  You have to considered ways to protect your intellectual property so that the contents cannot be easily be stolen by thieves.

Presently, the common software to used is Adobe Acrobat.  With this software, you can convert your Microsoft Word Documents into a read only pdf file formats which can then be sold to the buyer.

Basically, the Adobe Acrobat software offer you some protection as you can set permissions such as:

- allow or disable the rights to copy the texts in the document.

- allow or disable the rights to print the document.

- allow or disable the rights to change the document.

- set a password in order to open the document.

Now, Adobe Acrobat give your ebook some protection but there are other areas which you still have to considered whether to further secure you contents especially if it is going to be a HOT seller.  For example, after setting those security in your documents, someone purchase it and you distribute them to your buyer. Once the adobe file reach the buyer, you can't change the security for those files.  Assuming later on, you have a dispute with the buyer and does not wish to let them access your file contents, then there is nothing much you can do.

Although you have done the necessary protection to your file such as preventing them from copying the contents in your documents, you still can't stop them from duplicating your whole file and then redistribute or resold to others.

Depending on how critical or important your contents is, you can actually further boost your info product protection by purchasing an eBook HTML Compiler which offer you these features such as:

- Security Functions

Give your reader a taster of your ebook by setting it to expire after a number of days or openings - then choose whether or not you want them to continue their reading pleasure by entering a password.

Eventually, the decision on whether you want to used a simple software or a more highly secure eBook HTML Compiler Software depends on how tightly you need to safeguard your ebook contents from those online thieves.
