Impossible.

I can always get a screen shot, shoot it  off to Amazon Turk and have it 100% transcribed and sent to my email probably in a few minutes.  

There is no way of 100% preventing a screenshot. The core DNA of the Internet is built on sharing.  No way of getting around that.   

You can make it a bit harder but impossible to prevent copying.  Just the nature of the beast.

While I know it's fairly easy to download a Flash applet (which would, in essence, copy the text, I believe most of the people using this system won't know that and will be 'safe enough'.   Additionally, if I remember correctly, Flash content doesn't show up in a screenshot (though I could be wrong on this).
