If you sue someone, you gotta come to where they live, you're the one making the claims.) You absolutly, positively, CANNOT put a copyright on the output of a product. Whatever Rebel shows me on the screen, I am within my legal bounds to do as I see fit with this information. Hacking is illegal in every country of the world. Not what I am talking about here. I feel sorry for you (Ed) and Christophe, and Noomen, that people are hacking your complete books, and making them their own. I hope you find a way to stop it.
