I see you closed the other thread on this. When I was opening the threads this morning to see what else had been posted, I was thinking the same thing, that these threads should just be closed.

My comment: The Internet was designed to allow information to be freely published and shared. In order to view content it is necessary that it be sent from a server to the client that requested it. To be visible, anything that was done to "hide/protect" the content must be undone. At this point, the original content is available to be viewed or copied.

If you have content that you don't want anyone to see and possibly copy, this includes HTML, CSS, Javascript, and visual content (images/movies), then don't publish it on the open Internet. Put such content on password protected pages and charge people to view it. This way you at least get paid if you feel that your content has this much value.

Does anyone here think that Google, Yahoo, Microsoft... would have grown to their current position on the Internet if they had made use of code that attempted to hide/protect content? Such code typically slows, breaks, or requires additional downloads/steps in order to view content.

No mate. I didn't download a single file. I'll tell you how I did.

First, I went to the demo page.
http://alilg.com/demonstration/ajax_.../site_page.php

Second, I looked at the source code and found this.
Code:
<script src="require.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
A link to an external Javascript. So I opened the file.
http://alilg.com/demonstration/ajax_...den/require.js

In the code I found a link to a php file. (require.php) So I went there.
http://alilg.com/demonstration/ajax_...en/require.php

Seems weird. Now disable Javascript on your browser and refresh the page. Surprise surprise.

Done.

As you can see, it is possible. There is no way to hide your code.
