If you publish the files as PDF documents, you could lock them down so
that they cannot be printed or copied, or so that text and images cannot
be extracted from them. Adobe Acrobat (full version) has this
functionality.

Subject: files that can't be downloaded?
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way of putting a file on Blackboard so that the
student cannot right-click and download it. Files are mainly text and
image based but could be video. I am concerned about the Human Tissue
act and putting up documents which could include images that need to be
protected under the terms of the HT act. Our medical staff aren't happy
'publishing'
files that could be downloaded to students' PCs even if they are within
a Blackboard course/module and only available to genuine medical
students.
Neil
