There are many systems, blocking software or a document in which access to that file. But the problem is to adopt the entire flight. While the thought, allows the security system to deter theft, but can not stop at 100%. An "unbreakable" protection system is not easy, and never will exist. If someone really wants the information, it is possible, even if years of work. So what is the point? Why protect them? There is no guarantee of safety at 100% to everyone, but this is not a reason to disregard the protection of intellectual property - A thief can easily Kick in the door front and Rob your house, but still the door. Closed the door is not 100% effective, but we do it again. Why? Discouraging, because most potential theft and those who are more determined to work a little 'in Who should be protected? The big problem is how information about you for you? Sensitive, proprietary or private information requires a type of protection, because the transmission network is not an option. If the information is not free, so it is obviously of some importance. Just as it would be very wrong for you, when available? What kind of impact could have on the distribution and you can (or will) include, without even once? It is an electronic book with a value of $ 14 to pay another service to protect them? Probably not, but it depends on the situation and the target group. What about a $ 2000? The change of perspective? Companies to protect their property. If you think that your data or software to a single owner in the wilderness, it is necessary to protect the information on some of its resources, no matter how small. Companies like Microsoft lose hundreds of millions of dollars due to software theft and fraud, to implement further measures of protection for software. I believe that, without protection, the losses would be billions. WHAT can you expect? As I said, there is no 100% way to avoid all accidents, but can be very difficult and less likely. The best, what we hope is just enough for obvious security and safety would be thieves. But not so much as the safety of users and an honest client. Option Here are some common protection: No protection: your details and we hope the best. - Pro: no special procedure for access to files, a smaller number of requests for support. - Less: The file maybe copied, distributed and / or sold without the permission of the owners.

For example, after 90 days of use, must be a new number that you received. - Advantages: Allows control of compensation and reimbursement of the reservation. The file is disabled when the second item, because you do not have the second key to the file. - Less: Requires an additional step for the registration, a user can reserve or return after the second register. --- Post-Purchase Activation: Requires activation by online server. With user purchases on-line database of customers. Then install and save the file by typing its name or e-mail or data.

For software and executables: 1. When you open the file, a protection system must not save or copy a file rather than the version of Windows TEMP directory or anywhere on your PC for that matter. 2nd The system should ensure that the password automatically to the exchange and unauthorized access to leave. This prevents the document has not yet given or distributed in any way illegal, because it can not be opened unless it is entitled. 3rd There must be some method to withdraw or terminate access to users fraudulent or refunded.

WHAT ABOUT COST? E 'market? The $ 300 a year too much for the protection of copyright? Certainly not. Security costs money, but if your business is to make money, then there is no cost for this activity. E 'for you? I do not know. Sale of cheap imports in a few months the demand is unlikely to secure any type of protection, but if the revenue from the software or information, is a critique of the nature of your business, you need to protect your intellectual property, capital one level. Final Thoughts Personally, I believe that a degree of protection should be on every piece of software or a document of value to you. You should never mass distribute a file in an unprotected format. Otherwise, crawl, if someone abuses, but ... If you! It 'easy to listen, saying that "no worry" (a common response to the issue of document security) until someone is stealing from you. So anything that can do is to pay attention, but it's really too late. The damage is done. Can not something new, if the outside without protection.
