Speaking of that... A real-life case:
My sister-in-law (a casual user if ever!) once performed the following, after
she ran into a 'protected' site:
- print the page
- scan the sheet
- perform OCR...
(on an all-in-one printer, with most things automated... but still!)

You'd have to block for print (in any way you can figure out) to circumvent
this... But then, she could still make a screen dump and OCR it...

Obviously, casual users aren't what they were anymore. And when it comes to it,
the safest is probably /not/ publishing your site in the first place :)

Or consider using a more flexible licence like Creative Commons...?
