I know this might sound a little crazy but is there like a tracking script that like for example you have a website and afraid that someone might steal it so then the tracking script would track know who stole it.
If you do not understand PM me or post. If you do have a solution that would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by someone stealing a website? Do you mean taking content off it, such as images or articles?

I'm saying if someone steals my code. I would then be able to track the person down and then fine him/her or sue.

That's not really possible. There's nothing you can really do if its client-side code. For server-side code, you may be able to use some kind of phone home feature to maybe send an email if, say, its operating environment changes. This can be easily removed though and won't give you anywhere near enough information to sue someone.
What is the actual reason you want to protect the code? Client-side code is available to everyone who views the page, the only thing you can really do is protect it with some kind of copyright. Server side code should never be accessible to the public, unless its by a mistake by you, or a vulnerable or misconfigured server on x10's part.

This is pretty interesting, I wonder how well it works.

Doesn't work really well in my opinion. If a plagarizer really wanted to destroy the main purpose of this site, they would just have to put your site into that page 10 times every month.

In short there isn't, BUT if most of the code is PHP then the end user will never see it anyway

You can track your visitors though.
If you suspect the script has been stolen, you can see who viewed your site recently, what browser they had, which pages they viewed, where they came from, how long they spent there etc.
This would not constitute proof, but at least you would know ;)
