Should, yes. And if you create your entire site dynamically on the server
and send only plain HTML to the browser, no one will be able to suss your
amazing and proprietary advances in the field of web design.

I think it's just as likely as printing companies devising a way to prevent
the photocopying of copyrighted material in books or magazines, or, more
immediately, as likely as the music and video industry creating an effective
way to prevent unauthorised duplication of copyrighted artistic endeavours.

If we're going to dream, instead of dreaming about how we prevent theft,
let's dream about a world where no one would even consider it . . .
