Re: Prevent copying

It might be possible to have the documents in the folder as http web
pages. Some of those have code which makes them much harder to copy.
For example you might view them in a browser but cannot save it. Some
of them you can't even save as a text file. Someone could still do a
screen capture or open the page in a HTML editor and save it though.
If you only want to stop casual copying this might be enough though.

I understand what you're saying but if that solution is actually acceptable
to anyone, then they are not actually concerned about document security. It
might just stop someone copying a document by accident but it's extremely
trivial to defeat that if you want to copy the document.

I actually wrote something about this in march last year that kinda
illustrates how I feel about the whole subject...
A picture's worth a thousand words though -
