    Hi all,
    
    I recently came across Clever Content from Alchemedia
    (http://www.alchemedia.com) which is an image protecting system for
    webbrowsers.  Basically, it works by installing a plugin that patches
    Windows/Mac OS and disallows any access to the screen memory, as well as
    controlling how you may use the image on a webpage.  The system appears to
    be clever enough to work out when it's running on VNC, VMware or VirtualPC,
    so you can't grab screenshot by using any of those products.  There is also
    an "encryption" plug-in that needs to be installed on the webserver serving
    the images.
    
    Has anyone come across this product before?  Any comments on the client
    and/or server side security?
