If i underscore the file names that I don't want someone else to import(copy
the code off of my site) will that keep the content somewhat protected?

If not.. Is there a way to protect content.

If not does anyone have any sample language/contracts that he/she might have
used when they've been hired to design a site?

Help!

No. If it's viewed in the bowser it's copyable.

No

You can post any contract/language you want, but with 20 million
( and climbing ) active domains, if someone used your code
it would be virtually impossible to catch them.
html, javascript, CSS are pretty much considered "public domain"
What you can copyright is original articles and images.
 
There really is no way to protect content from being copied off the web. Now
if you are creating something for a client, then if you have access to Flash
or Adobe PDF, then you can provide the client with a Flash or PDF file.

it seems that the only way to get close is this:
server side scripting that writes something to the page isn't viewable/
stealable unless you've got the user name and password for the server.
it also seems like when the vendor doesn't want something like this copied
by someone with the username/ password they compile important things into a
dll and warn not to mess with it.
I'm sure some people can easily hack into a dll but most people can't and
wouldn't get very far if they tried.

What kind of code are you trying to protect? if it's just and html web page
or some JavaScript you're out of luck.

I guess what you've got to consider is what is it you're trying to protect,
who are you trying to protect it from, and why would they want to steal it
in the first place.
