Optional Copy and Screenshot Protection for Lessons
M
Mina Steppyz
Implement an optional feature to prevent users from copying content or taking screenshots of lessons, configurable during lesson creation.
Requirements
- Optional Protection: Provide a toggle/checkbox option during lesson creation to enable or disable copy and screenshot protection.
- Copy Protection: Disable text selection and copying (e.g., block Ctrl+C, Cmd+C, and right-click copy options) for the lesson content when the protection is enabled.
- Screenshot Protection: Prevent screenshots (e.g., block common screenshot shortcuts like PrtSc, Cmd+Shift+3/4, or equivalent) or obscure the lesson content during screenshot attempts when the protection is enabled.
- User Experience: Ensure the toggle is clearly visible and intuitive in the lesson creation interface (e.g., a checkbox labeled "Enable Copy/Screenshot Protection").
-The protection should only apply to the lesson content area, not the entire application interface.
- Consider edge cases, such as users attempting to bypass restrictions (e.g., screen recording or external capture tools), and implement reasonable countermeasures where possible.

People who try to copy or steal material should be banned immediately from a course and an internal notification sent to owner with their name so the owner can take action. However, some will get smart and use their phone or write everything down without the owner noticing.
You could have everyone sign a contract before signing up for the course that prohibits this behavior. If they sign they are liable.
