 * How do I prevent people from seeing the source code on my sites?
 * **Can someone provide the right script**
    -  AND
 *  explain exactly where to cut and paste it?
 * All help will be truly appreciated.
 * Another option is to totally lock down the site so no one can copy anything. (
   page by page would be nice on this, so I can leave the blog page free for comments
   by visitors)
 * Please advise

 * BTW – I am on a motorcycle forum that provides technical assistance or other 
   advice re: motorcycles, and this group here (WP support) is the fastest responders
   I have every encountered. Thanks again. I guess I’ll have to suck it up and move
   on.

 * LOL – you DID get an outpouring of immediate “support”! Sorry it wasn’t what 
   you wanted to hear, but like you said, you did learn something :)!

 * That doesn’t mean anything unless the copyright owner can then pursue any infringements
   in the courts. That’s where the _real_ cost of maintaining copyright kicks in.

 * copyright infringement chasing can be very expensive
