<br>I think you're missing an opportunity here. <br><br>I would tell the client I'll do everything I can to limit a user's ability to copy their content, but since no one can guarantee that users won't find a way around those steps they should sign an contract with me or another gorup to monitor bittorrent and other sites used to exchange files for their content.<br>
<br>As many people have already pointed out, there is a balance between functionality and security. Since the client obviously doesn't want to go with the computer in a locked room approach, help them feel comfortable that people aren't stealing from them by trying to find stolen versions of the content on a regular basis.<br>
<br>In addition to the other suggestions for making the site more secure, consider water marking some images and/or video with unique ids making it easier to trace back to the user. I'd also track each IP addresses a user uses and look into users how use the most addresses. It's a lot easier to share a username/password than to copy an entire site of content.<br>

</div>You could also tell him that it's possible to do like lyric sites and<br>
use JS, shoot you could even take 5 minutes and write a script that<br>
listens for common screenshot key combos and matches the background<br>
color with the text color to wash it out. Salesmanship is about<br>
presenting alternatives instead of saying "no."<br>
<br>
Although I could see some clients where you'd just want to straight up<br>
say no ;)<br>
