— a short visible copyright notice will help set expectations, but it does not technically stop someone who can view the page from copying it. As and hinted, the practical approach is to combine a clear legal/terms statement with monitoring and deterrents, and to keep evidence if you need to enforce rights. For basic legal background see the U.S. Copyright Office guidance on how copyright works and why registration matters (Copyright FAQ).

If the goal is to detect misuse, use automated monitoring plus provenance tricks. Services like Copyscape and Google Alerts (watch for unique phrases) find copied text; reverse-image search (for example TinEye or Google Images) finds reused graphics. To tie a copy back to a specific viewer, serve uniquely marked copies: require login, generate per-user watermarked images/PDFs or insert nonvisible tokens or tiny wording differences in the HTML you serve each account, then search the web for that token if a copy appears. Preserve server logs, timestamps and any purchase/registration records as supporting evidence.

Avoid relying on JavaScript tricks (disable right-click, block selection) — they are weak, harm accessibility and are easily bypassed. For images, visible watermarks or server-side on-the-fly watermarking are more effective. If you discover an infringement, follow takedown procedures (DMCA where applicable) and preserve full evidence first; see the DMCA basics (DMCA info).

Recommended immediate steps: add a clear copyright/terms page and contact email, set up content monitoring (Copyscape/alerts/reverse-image), decide whether to require logins and implement per-user watermarking if identification is critical, and register your work if you may need to litigate. If enforcement becomes necessary, consult legal counsel before sending takedown or demand notices.
