STOPPING WEB FLASH BANNERS THEFT

Stealing someone's intellectual properties rights or pirating them or copying and retouching to use in any medium is actually a very serious issue. In countries like United States of America, an offender is always paraded before an authority in charge of such irregularities but here in Nigeria just little of the enforcement is actually active.

Just recently, one of my Maskheads was copied just like that.

I am searching for real script that stops copying of active flash banners on the web. I will appreciate anyone who will help me with what code or script or any tested method that will do the magic.

You guyz are great and I beleive in naija so much although, I have not tried all your solutions to this issue of flash banner theft but I believe it will work.

I will do just that and come back to appreciate when it perfectly work.

Hello, I thinkt he best way to help yourself with this is by using swfobjects, google it and read about it, this way no one will be able to copy your flash file.

A simple way is to create a dummy banner with a script in it to load the real banner as a movie. Users will not notice the difference but when someone downloads the page he only gets the blank dummy banner.

Well mate, if you notice, that is what swfobject does for you.

That sir, is the bane of the internet.

Intellectual property is hard to protect once it gets online even in those countries you have mentioned.

Concerning the topic, like my predecessors have pointed out, I would google for flash obfuscators and tutorials on how to prevent flash theft.

you cant hide anything, no matter the logic you apply, as long as it can show up in a web browser.
