Ah, the age-old question. This is the same question as "is there a way for me to show a web page to someone and not let them copy it?",
As a sidelight to this thread which has already strewn far from the [crypto] heading, it *is* possible to show a web page to someone w/out letting them copy it. Some guy in California, who touts the fact he has "every foul word known to man" on his site (to generate more hits) has (I believe developed/worked to help develop) a product which does so. I don't know how he does it, and I know there are ways around it through sniffing, etc., but when you do the trivial act of "View Source" in Netscape, a filtered version is displayed in the source window. While it's really not possible (AFAIK) to eliminate unwanted copying by a person who knows what they're doing, this works against people who don't (like most people). If anyone's interested, I *might* be able to find the URL somewhere. PM
