$content = "The computer program is protected by copyright law and international treaties. Unauthorized reproduction or of this program, or any portion of it, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible under the law.";

why trim off anything anywhere? if I understand you correct, all you actually need to do is check to to see if your $keyword variable exists within the $contents variable...
have a look strstr(), strpos() etc. in the documentation on php.net.

or maybe I got it wrong?

I'd be very interested to see how. Your original question was somewhat confusing 🙂
