Excellent questions firstbert. I'm looking forward to reading some answers from the more knowledgeable on this list. Most of them I have no idea of an answer to; however, I do have some thoughts on this one:

"Locks are designed to keep honest people honest." There are ways to make it more difficult for the unlearned to swipe your code. You can use javascript to disable their ability to click and view the source code, but those that know can figure out how to save it to their machine and just open it in a text editor. The more knowledgeable still will just go to where it is already saved on their machine to open the file and view the code. You can save your svg in one file and use another to display it. For example in HTML you can use something like <img src="filename.svg"/> If your presentation page was https://www.someisp.com/presentation.htm and I wanted to look at your code badly enough to go to the trouble I'd just delete the "presentation.htm" and replace it with "filename.svg"; however, many do not know they can do this and those would be thwarted. If it's the image you're trying to protect, you can't keep me from getting it. If I have to, I'll take a screenshot, or if necessary screenshots and sew them together. Even if you disable the print screen key using js or something else I still know how to get the screenshots. On the other hand, if it's the code you are trying to protect the only way I know to do that is to convert it to something else, say the video you mentioned or a raster file format, but what's the point of that? When I have code I don't want stolen I do the js lockouts and add some remarks in the code itself: <!--filename.svgcopyright 2013by Jason Barnabas Hi, I see you've decided to take a look at my code. I hope you can learn something useful here, but please do not copy this verbatim as it is copyrighted material. Have fun looking at my code and good luck in your projects. Sincerely, Jason --> There may be other things you can do to keep honest people honest and if you think your code is worth the effort then invest it and see where it takes you.
