How do you protect intellectual property online?

[Daspbell]

If your work heavily depends on digital assets, what tools or strategies do you use to make sure your intellectual property is not misused or stolen?

As a freelance designer, my digital files are basically my livelihood. In the early days, I sent project drafts as plain attachments, and a few times they were reused without permission. That’s when I realized I needed stronger safeguards. I came across mobilecon.info, and it opened my eyes to how easy it is to protect intellectual property with modern tools. I started using watermarking, controlled access permissions, and password-protected files. It might sound like overkill, but it really isn’t. I even learned how to track file access, which helps me know exactly who opened my work. Since then, I’ve had far fewer issues with misuse, and my clients appreciate the extra professionalism.
