Hmmm, and what about those people who do not want or are not allowed to 
install Flash for security reasons? Also, on older systems Flash is just 
excrutiatingly slow. I mentioned earlier using video files. I was first 
thinking about a person presenting the content, but why not take images of the 
content and compose a video of that. I am sure any system has some basic video 
capabilities, which typically can play an avi that uses a common coding (OK, 
video on older systems isn't great either, but typically works better than 
Flash). Depending on how the video is embedded in the page you can have player 
controls that allow people to stop the video and read the text.
Again, even that is no sure way of stopping anyone from obtaining and 
retaining the content, see Fahrenheit 451.
