    Simple answer, you can't. Anything you put on the internet can be taken (if wanted bad enough) - especially something like the source code of a website. Your best bet would be to use a copyright; but other than that, you cannot really protect the source code sent to the client's browser.

    Hope this helps.

    Your ebook is easy to get if you have it on the site without some specific ways of downloading.

    First, anyone who has access to it can and may save it. The end.

    Second, if you want to not allow others access, there might be a way.

    Many commercial systems give a paying customer a key that is worth a single download, so that it can't get out and be used by others.

    The only thing you can control in the end is who is able to view (and only to some extent); from there, it's easy enough to save.
