Hi Eakachai
This is a very difficult problem indeed. May I ask what
country you are from?
One possible solution that springs to mind is to perhaps zip
the files up, but zip with a password. Students would then
apply to you for a password.
However, this would not stop a student passing on the
unzipped documents.
Depending on your country's laws, you might be able to make
a clear statement of copyright, and additionally make it
clear that anyone copying the material for financial gain
would be liable to prosecution. However, you would then
require to actually prosecute a few offenders in order to
send a real message out.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
George.

Subject: [duxuser] Security issue
Dear listers,
My office is responsible for distributing electronic
Braille student-book via Internet. I'm facing with a crucial
problem regarding security and copyright.
Commonly, I can't upload original
*.dxb files on my official website. We prefer to convert all
files into *.brf and ignore graphics braille unavoidably.
Now we still confront a problem that some NGOs in my country
who are currently coping with education for visually
impaired students. We discover that they copy our files and
remove my publishing text in order to claim for their
profit.
Once I was advised to run the header text separately
for the odd and even pages. For example, header text on the
left hand side may say "the title of the book", while the
right hand say "published by my office name". This solution
is not possible in Duxbury.
Please give us some advices the way we can deal with
this problem.
With my best regards
Eakachai
