My Question is: Is there Anyway Possible to Keep a person that I let view the Tree, from copying it from your website to their own Computers? I have found that some people are copying my Tree and them posting it onto Ancestry or other websites. WHAT IS THE USE IN PRIVATIZING A Tree and Paying you money for it, if this is going to continue to be a problem?
I would also like to know if I have you make a CD or DVD of my Family Tree for me, if it will be able to be copied by anyone else if sent to them. I am putting this Family Tree into Book form, and do not want it printed or published before my book comes out.
Thank you,

The same goes for photos. If they can see a photo on their computer screen, they can copy it and post it anywhere else they wish. There is nothing that you can do to stop this.
The DVD provided by TribalPages can also be copied by anyone who has it in his possession.
The basic rule is: if you want to keep something private, DO NOT POST IT ON THE INTERNET. Once you have posted it, anyone with access can (and probably will) copy anything they see on their computer screens.
That is why I have made my trees Private, and give out only Passwords to very few (and a different Password to each person). I give it to only those that I can trust now, give them 24 hours to look at the tree, ask them to not copy and post anything to Ancestry or anywhere else, and have had a lot more luck by doing it this way for the past 5 years or so.
Thank you for your answer so quickly.
