Anybody who surfs the net regularly knows that there are many sites that offer copies of costly books in the pdf format for free. Some of these books are quite costly and take months of painstaking labor to compile. Quite a few of them contain rare images that are not available elsewhere and have been secured by the author of the book after paying a handsome sum of money to the proprietor of those images.
The author does not mind paying the money since they will earn back the same and more by the sales royalties of their books. However, as most authors have found out the hard way, an unprotected pdf file can be copied and distributed through the net within a few days of their release. Sometimes illegal versions are up on the net even before the original is published.
These pirates take help from sources within the publishing house to obtain a copy of the original book for a fixed amount of money. Within a few hours the book is copied and released through countless pirate sites and channels on the web. Fortunately, there are some software available that can protect your book, compiled in the pdf format, from being copied.
These programs add a certain routine in the pdf file itself, which prohibits the same from being copied. In an attempt to fool the pirate, the publisher protects the important portions of the book. This way it becomes tough for the pirate to know whether the copy he has made for uploading on the net is an exact replica of the original or not. He can confirm the same by going through each paragraph of the document, but that require a good amount of time that the pirate does not have.
Proper use of these programs ensures that only original copies of your books are available for sale. You can be rest assured that the money you have spent in compiling the book will be earned by means of royalty earned from the sold copies. Apart from that, by using these programs you ensure that the pirates do not abuse your legal rights.
These programs come quite cheap and the profits gained by selling just a few copies of a bestseller can realize back the price of the software. Ensure peace of mind and hit back hard at the pirates by purchasing these copy protection programs and copy protecting your books. The pirates do find out a way to bypass the copy protection, but by that time the publishers of the software will have come out with a new copy protection algorithm.
