While I understand the need to protect your work, you need to understand that you don’t own your content – everyone does. What do I mean? Unless your going to keep all your precious work in a closet, someone will be able to copy it and do as they wish with it and you can’t do anything about it. The record companies tried to keep a lock on their data with DRM and failed miserably.

This is especially true if your an online business or you primarily use the web to market you goods. The public will use their brains and technology to take your stuff.

Here are some things you can to do react to this truth:

• Watermark your product – stick a graphic overlay with your logo over images
• Create a premium product
• Give up and give it away for free and hope people will donate
• Think of another business model
