<div dir="ltr">I think the "secure" ship has sailed! Encrypting copies when there's already a PDF freely circulating is a bit futile. IMO, Barry, just publish it and don't worry about piracy. If only the pirate copy is available nobody will ever pay unless they want a physical copy. If the e-book is available, at least the law abiding people who want to contribute can do so.<div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Q<br><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 5, 2017 at 4:06 PM, Jason Proctor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jason@redfish.net" target="_blank">jason@redfish.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">i wonder whether publishing as some kind of e-book would be more secure?<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 5, 2017 at 1:30 PM, Joel B <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:onephatcat@earthlink.net" target="_blank">onephatcat@earthlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">How about this: you sell the PDF only directly from your website. You generate a unique, password protected PDF for each order including some markers (like the NSA uses) that let you identify the unique owner of the document. You include in the license a hefty fine to be paid if they allow the doc to be pirated. A stolen laptop won't include the password so that would be reasonably hacker proof.<br>
<br>
You sell the whole thing for $150. Since it will have a full text search index it's actually far more valuable than a stack of paper.<br>
<br>
A full text index on cd or internet would also be a great enhancement to the stack of paper.<br>
