## Descripció

Copyfend protects your articles, images and pages with **layered, honest deterrence**,
never the empty «100% protection» promise that no plugin can keep. It is built for
blogs, media sites and SEO-driven publishers who are tired of seeing their work 
copied, scraped and republished.

What makes it different: most «copy protection» plugins are **client-side JavaScript
only**, trivially bypassed by disabling JavaScript, using view-source or reader 
mode. Copyfend includes that deterrence layer too, but its real strength is the **
server-side protection and forensics** that keep working when JavaScript is off.

#### Free features

Stop casual copying without breaking your site:

 * **Guided setup**: pick your site profile (blog, business or photography) and 
   get a recommended, SEO-safe configuration applied in one click, plus a dashboard
   checklist and a «test your protection» guide.
 * **See it paying off**: the dashboard counts how many copies carried your attribution
   backlink each week (an anonymous counter; no visitor data is stored).
 * **Anti-copy deterrence**: disable right-click, text selection, copy/cut, keyboard
   shortcuts (Ctrl+C / X / A / S / U), image dragging and printing. Every option
   is independent.
 * **Turn copying into a backlink**: instead of blocking, allow copying but automatically
   append a «Source: your-URL» attribution, so every paste becomes a link back to
   you.
 * **Copyright registry**: declare the copyright holder, contact email and license;
   add a copyright meta tag and an attribution footer to your RSS items so your 
   link travels with scraped feeds.
 * **DMCA takedown notice generator**: fill in a few fields and get a ready-to-send
   takedown notice. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted.
 * **Content Locker**: gate any content behind an email (capture leads, export to
   CSV) with `[cshield_gate]`, or behind a password with `[cshield_lock]`. Locked
   content is rendered **server-side**, so it cannot be revealed with view-source.
 * **Precise targeting**: choose exactly which content types are protected, and 
   force protection On or Off per individual post or page.
 * **SEO-safe and accessibility-aware**: search engines are never blocked (your 
   rankings are untouched), and forms, comments and editable fields always keep 
   working.

#### PRO features (Copyfend Pro, sold separately)

The features below belong to **Copyfend Pro**, a separate paid plugin delivered 
by Freemius. They are **not included in, or locked inside, this free plugin**: the
free plugin is fully functional on its own. Pro adds the protection that cannot 
be bypassed by turning off JavaScript:

 * **Server-side anti-scraping**: block AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot,
   CCBot, Bytespider, PerplexityBot, Amazonbot and more) with a 403, plus an automatic
   AI opt-out in your robots.txt. Optionally block known scraping tools and HTTP
   libraries (curl, wget, Scrapy, HTTrack and similar), and throttle aggressive 
   IPs with a temporary, self-expiring rate limit. Truncate your RSS feed to an 
   excerpt to stop full-content theft via RSS.
 * **Honeypot bot-trap**: a hidden trap that only scrapers trigger (humans and search
   engines never do); automatically block offending IPs, and drop a canary pixel
   that reports when your content is republished elsewhere.
 * **Forensic watermark**: inject an invisible, per-visitor fingerprint into your
   content. If it leaks, paste the text into the built-in **leak decoder** to reveal
   exactly who copied it. Includes a privacy-first access log (IP, time, page) with
   IP anonymization and automatic expiry.
 * **Image watermark**: automatically stamp a logo and/or text watermark onto new
   uploads, while keeping a backup of the untouched original for one-click restore.
 * **Granular rules**: exclude specific categories or user roles from protection.

#### Honest positioning

No client-side protection is unbreakable, and we will never tell you otherwise. 
The client-side features deter the casual 99%; the PRO server-side and forensic 
tools are what give you real leverage: stopping automated scrapers and letting you
prove who leaked your work. Copyfend is **layered deterrence plus accountability**,
not magic.

Copyfend is developed by [Lofitec](https://lofitec.com).

### External services

This plugin uses **Freemius** to handle licensing, software updates and optional,
opt-in usage analytics for the premium version. On activation you may be asked to
opt in; you can decline and still use all free features. Data is sent to Freemius
only for those purposes. See the Freemius Privacy Policy (https://freemius.com/privacy/)
and Terms (https://freemius.com/terms/).

All content-protection processing (anti-copy, anti-scraping, watermarking, forensic
fingerprinting, the content locker and the DMCA generator) runs entirely on your
own site.

## Instal·lació

 1. Upload the `copyfend` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from **Plugins
    Add New** in your dashboard.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Open **Copyfend** in the admin menu and enable the protections you want.
 4. (Optional) To gate content, wrap it in a shortcode inside any post or page:
 5.  * Email gate: `[cshield_gate]Your protected content here…[/cshield_gate]`
     * Password lock: `[cshield_lock password="secret"]Your protected content here…[/
       cshield_lock]`

## PMF

### Is content protection 100% foolproof?

No, and any plugin claiming so is misleading you. A determined person can disable
JavaScript, use view-source or simply retype your text. Client-side protection deters
the casual majority; that is why Copyfend also adds real server-side anti-scraping
and a forensic watermark so you can identify leaks.

### Will it hurt my SEO?

No. Search-engine bots (Googlebot, Bingbot and others) are never blocked, so your
content is indexed and ranked normally. The AI opt-out in robots.txt targets AI 
training crawlers, not search engines.

### Does it break contact forms, comments or the block editor?

No. Inputs, textareas and editable fields are always left fully usable, and protection
never runs in the admin area.

### Does the forensic watermark respect privacy and GDPR?

Yes. The optional access log anonymizes IP addresses by default and auto-expires
old entries, and you control the retention period. The invisible fingerprint is 
skipped for search engines.

### What is free and what is PRO?

The entire client-side deterrence layer, copy-attribution, the copyright tools, 
the DMCA generator and the content locker are free. Server-side anti-scraping, the
honeypot, the forensic watermark, image watermarking and category/role rules are
PRO.

### Does it work on nginx or any host?

Yes. The protections are PHP-based (anti-copy, anti-scraping, watermarking, locker,
forensics) and do not require .htaccess, so they work on any host.
