 * Is Copy Protect 4.2 plugin SEO friendly? Have you had any reports of the plugin
   slowing down the website? Any conflicts with WordPress 3.9 reported?

 * I’m also wondering about this plugin…
    I noticed in one of my sites where i was
   using this plugin, when viewing the site via mobile browser, at the very bottom
   of the page it now has a link to some other site in Asia… “protection supported
   by Top Engineering College in Chennai” clicking the link takes me to [http://www.velhighhtech.com](http://www.velhighhtech.com)
   I have now added nofollow to all my external links but i’m still concern that
   this plugin may be doing more damage then good.
 * Is this plugin damaging my sites seo?
    Is the plugin stealing the juice from 
   my sites? How can I remove all external links from this plugin?
 * If I do not hear from the developer I will have to report this plugin and get
   it removed from here, so please dev response and explain what is going on.

 * Ok, after examining the plugin, i can confirm this plugin is being used to drive
   traffic to another site, unfortunately the way this is being done google considers
   this to be a keyword stuffing technique and hence I believe the sites which have
   this plugin installed are being penalized.
 * Looks like the developer is some kind of spammer.
 * I have edit the plugin file and changed the function so it no longer displays
   or points to this illegal website.

 * We should have given it as an option but anyway link removed now.
 * It should not slow your site. Let us know if it does.

 * Thank you for resolving this so quickly.
    I have updated my rating to 5 stars
   as the plugin now does what i need it to do and nothing more.
