It's not fool- proof of course. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows of a better way.

I suppose technically it is possible to scan a computer screen.

Besides, you missed my point -- most products that aren't software are destined for paper, if your products fall into that category, don't worry about people hacking your electronic copy as they will instead scan the hardcopy. > > I don't know what you're worried about being copied, but odds are that > > you should be worrying about something else instead. > > I understand my business needs and I see illegal copying, especially > by parties in places like China and the like, as a threat.
