Subject: Re: OT: Protecting Web Content
Oh God... this is the reason I tend not to pay attention to this list very
often. But since I have been so shocked by blatent ignorance to actually
get myself to reply, I will attempt to answer.

To the best of my knowlege, there is no special tag in (X)HTML that tells
the browser to not download and display files from a web server. You can
add some javascript code to a page to disable printing, and while you are
at it, you better use javascript to display the code to display the
content to help prevent someone from turning off javascript and still
getting to the content.

Better yet, don't post the content on a web server at all.
