[plug] Protecting Online Files

[Bennett, Phillip]

What about some sort of terminal server access?  That way the files
would never leave the server.

Only allow logins from the client IP addresses to stop unwanted access
etc.  There will never be any way you can stop a screen capture, or
someone just smply reproducing the documents, but without actually
sending them to the client computer, this is probably the next best
thing...

Just a thought,
Phil.

I think the best he can do is put that Adobe Acrobat protection on the
file where you can't simply use the text select tool to select and copy
the text.  This doesn't prevent copies being distributed, or the article
being OCR'd, but at least its stopping someone from simply copying and
pasting it.

Having this level of security behind a payment/security protected
gateway is the best he can hope for I'd say..
