How to protect/copyright code/essays/papers published on my site?
losethos: My advice is keeping secret anything you don't want copied.  I have little sympathy for people who expect worship or something and insist you cannot use their ideas, forevermore.  Detest those people.  Keep it secret if you don't want it used.  I have a book -- numerical recipies in C.  Why would they publish it if not for it to be used!  What?  Why would anybody read a technical journal if the act of doing so meant you could never use that idea yourself, even if you would have thought of it yourself.  the act of reading anything would be stupid!  that's why my operating system, LoseThos, is public domain and not GPL.  http://www.losethos.com
