You can search the other posts in the same list. Some of them talks
about almost the same thing as you requested. But as a general rule,
and
IMO, I don't think disabling Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C is enough. They can
always
use context menu and choose "Copy", or even more intuitively : select
with
the mouse and drag 'n drop !
Well, maybe you could disable right mouse button, but I'm not sure
you could disable mouse select or even drag n drop.
If you want a reasonable protection to your document, just don't use
HTML ! Because it's against its nature : HTML is supposed to be open.
Use
PDF, IMO, is simpler than Flash and you could specify that the document
text
can't be selected.
