Hi:
This is an interesting problem and I don't know if there is currently an
answer however maybe Dux. could have a feature that would lock the
document but in such a way where you could Braille but you couldn't edit
copy or export. That way the only function that would be left is actual
Braille production.

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.

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
