Copyfend – Content Protection, Anti-Copy & Anti-Scraping

PRO features (Copyfend Pro, sold separately)

The features below belong to Copyfend Pro , a separate paid plugin delivered by Freemius. They are not included in, or locked inside, this free plugin : the free plugin is fully functional on its own. Pro adds the protection that cannot be bypassed by turning off JavaScript:

• Server-side anti-scraping : block AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Bytespider, PerplexityBot, Amazonbot and more) with a 403, plus an automatic AI opt-out in your robots.txt. Optionally block known scraping tools and HTTP libraries (curl, wget, Scrapy, HTTrack and similar), and throttle aggressive IPs with a temporary, self-expiring rate limit. Truncate your RSS feed to an excerpt to stop full-content theft via RSS.
• Honeypot bot-trap : a hidden trap that only scrapers trigger (humans and search engines never do); automatically block offending IPs, and drop a canary pixel that reports when your content is republished elsewhere.
• Forensic watermark : inject an invisible, per-visitor fingerprint into your content. If it leaks, paste the text into the built-in leak decoder to reveal exactly who copied it. Includes a privacy-first access log (IP, time, page) with IP anonymization and automatic expiry.
• Image watermark : automatically stamp a logo and/or text watermark onto new uploads, while keeping a backup of the untouched original for one-click restore.
• Granular rules : exclude specific categories or user roles from protection.

Honest positioning

No client-side protection is unbreakable, and we will never tell you otherwise. The client-side features deter the casual 99%; the PRO server-side and forensic tools are what give you real leverage: stopping automated scrapers and letting you prove who leaked your work. Copyfend is layered deterrence plus accountability , not magic.

External services

This plugin uses Freemius to handle licensing, software updates and optional, opt-in usage analytics for the premium version. On activation you may be asked to opt in; you can decline and still use all free features. Data is sent to Freemius only for those purposes. See the Freemius Privacy Policy (https://freemius.com/privacy/) and Terms (https://freemius.com/terms/).

All content-protection processing (anti-copy, anti-scraping, watermarking, forensic fingerprinting, the content locker and the DMCA generator) runs entirely on your own site.
