a way they could get around this is to make it password protected so you
could only see the content in any form once you had given over your credit
card. Resumes are not that patentable.

Subject: A very concerning trend.
Hi everyone,
Recently, I decided that it would be a good idea to revise my resume.
having no desire to deal with visual appeal and formatting issues myself, I
thought I would use a resume writing service. Over the past few days, while
examining what these services have to offer, I have noticed an alarming
trend.
of course, most services want to tout their wares, so they offer sample
resumes for perspective customers to consider before making a decision.
it would however, be a simple matter for someone who wanted to be a
freeloader to copy one of these samples, and revise it to suit his or her
own needs.
Therefore, many services are posting their sample work in a manor that
prevents this sort of theft and in doing so, are rendering it completely
inaccessible to screen readers.
Here's just one example of what I mean.
Go to the following URL, and then click on any of the before or after
examples.

I fully understand the need to protect written content on the web, but I am
also concerned, as I am envisioning a day where other providers, such as
magazines or publishers of online books start using a similar format.
I'm guessing the answer would be to implement a methodology where by content
would be protected as well as secure. Does such a standard currently exist
and if so, are there any documents out there explaining its implementation?
If so, I would gladly point them out to the webmasters of the services I
have encountered thus far.
Thanks,
