I have exact copies of it with a few minor changes and them claiming it as thier own.  I have put a great amount of time and money into creating it.  I am looking for something to lock the pages or encrpt them so they can not be stolen.  I understand that if you encrpt the html with a program that your page or website can not be crawled or index.  Is this true?  Any suggestions on how to protect my work and stil be indexed so my site can be seen?  Are there any programs that you would suggest?
