How to "secure" my content

mainly a directory of links

[limitup]

I have a private "members only" website that I sell access to. The content is mainly a directory of links to other sites (believe it or not). Anyway, I need a way to prevent my competitors from joining and stealing my database (or at least make it harder for them). My idea so far...

Display the links the way I do now right on the screen, but disable copying in the browser. Then, redirect to each link as opposed to having the link take the user directly to that site i.e. have each link go to mysite.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?4827131 - using some "random" or coded non-sequential id for each link and look it up in my database to redirect.

This would mean they couldn't view the source of the page and get all the links, and they couldn't copy it from the page via "copy and paste" so this would prevent most people from getting the info I think. Of course it wouldn't be hard for someone who knows how to write a simple script to follow all of the redirect links and get the destination URLs.

Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks!

sure. try your hand at a search at either php. - or cgi.resourceindex.com and use keyword redirect. some scripts offer random id's as a standard option. there are many available.

good luck
