What makes you think it's something so sophisticated as a robot? It's probably someone with a browser cutting and pasting your copy. CSS and HTML entities won't help you there. Use Server-Side Includes to #include virtual a perl script that will log visits to the page. Log the frequency, IP address (for comparing net-blocks), and the User-Agent. Also, include in a visual text footer and a comment in the source of each page a disclaimer on how "all copyright violators will be prosecuted" and other relevant legal-ese. If your client base is a select few, use authentication to prevent the general populace from viewing the content. Post a follow up if this doesn't cover what you want. John J Reiser
