% In light of the recent thread on framing pages and such, I thought readers
% of this list might be interested in the following simple JavaScript I
% whipped up this morning for my pages. Adjust the sitename accordingly,
% place it in the header of your pages, and when someone views an illegally
% mirrored copy of your page, they'll be transparently bounced back to the
% proper site, at least if they have JavaScript.

There is a thing which escapes me.

If I want to steal a FAQ, I edit it down in order to cancel references
to the original maintainer. I have no problem in deleting the script too.

If on the other side I just copy the FAQ leaving it intact, it probably
contains a sentence which says who wrote it and where is its home (at
least I am doing so). People therefore know they are not reading the
official version.

So, where is the problem?
