    I don't think search engines run scripts on pages, do they? You can use the NOINDEX meta tag to stop the page which will stop the page being indexed and appearing in search engine results.

    Anyway, if someone can get the web page on their screen (even once), they can have their computer save the output. Even non-techies could do a screendump or just take a photo of the content.

    You might be able to make it tricky for a user, but there will always be some way round any restrictions.
    I was thinking more of the less obedient robots, rather than "legitimate" search engine ones.
    However, you and others make good points regarding ways readers could capture their screens. Wouldn't be that difficult to record your Mission Impossible instructions before they self-destruct either, come to that. :)

    I wonder how that site makes money, if not by harvesting emails for spam purposes?
