quote >> A webmaster asked me one day
to give him a solution to prevent any website copy. Not 
only for offline browsers, but also against "save as", 
cut and paste, print.. and print screen. I replied that is 
was not possible, especially for the print screen - and
that another potential threat was the evil photographer. 
Maybe with a "this document will self-destruct in 5 
seconds.."
or by shooting users after consulting the document.

:) LOVE THE IRONY HERE :)

i think that ALL INFORMATION SHOULD BE MADE FREE OF CHARGE 
or CHARGE for it to cover the expenses AND NOT MAKE A 
PROFIT OF THE INFORMATION. however in todays world of MAKE 
MONEY/WAR AND NOT LOVE this HTT app is a LIGHT AT THE END 
OF THE TUNNEL for all of us wanting to make a world a 
better place for all (yes THAT INCLUDES YOU XAVIER :)

on a serious note. accusing HTT of being the tool of a 
copyinfringment is rediculos. that way we can allow 
WEBMASTERS TO +ban paper and pencil (click HERE if you 
agree not to use paper and pencil to copy any part of this 
website...)... 

any thoughts?

You do not want people to "steal" your website, or even 
copy parts of it. First, stealing a website does not
require to have an offline browser. Second, direct (and 
credited) copy is sometimes better than disguised 
plagiarism. Besides, several previous remarks are also 
interesting here: the more protected your website will be,
the potentially less attractive it will also be. There is 
no perfect solution, too. A webmaster asked me one day
to give him a solution to prevent any website copy. Not 
only for offline browsers, but also against "save as", 
cut and paste, print.. and print screen. I replied that is 
was not possible, especially for the print screen - and
that another potential threat was the evil photographer.
