Re: HTML source being used to navagate and steal

First off, you need to lock down your website, the answer to that is not a legal one, rather a techical one. You have given anyone on the internet access to your source directories. The question then is, can someone copy this information? The answer is yes. Can that same person use the information for commercial gain, the answer may be yes, but is probably no, as it would violate your copyright of the source material.

I hope this helps.
