CopySafe Web can be easily added to any pages or posts
created by WordPress. By adding a CopySafe Web encrypted image
to a web page using this WordPress plugin, the object code and
scripts to activate copy protection are very much simplified.
How the WP CopySafe Plugin Works
When editing a page or post, click on the [C] icon above the HTML editor toolbar to insert the
"shortcode", where the cursor was last placed in the text area. After uploading or selecting an existing image (from a previous upload), you can then nominate the security settings to use for the page or post. Different pages can use different security settings, for example, to allow the submission of web forms you may need to enable use of the keyboard.
| CaptureSafe |

Print Screen and screen capture |
| KeySafe |

while the page is on display |
| MenuSafe |

Default Settings for this WordPress Plugin
Default settings can be applied to all CopySafe Web pages and
posts. Most useful for corporate networks and others who need to
limit access to certain types of web browsers, the default
settings page allows you to nominate which ones you want to
allow. Any browsers not qualifying will be redirected. You can
also select from 3 modes which can be changed at any time:
| Demo Mode |
Allows use of the plugin
without requiring a CopySafe Web
license* |
| Licensed |
For users licensed to
use the
CopySafe Web software for
encrypting images |
| Debug Mode |
Displays the HTML for
object tag instead of displaying
the image |
* While the CopySafe Web WordPress Plugin is designed for use by CopySafe Web software users, it will add a layer of protection for the page even in "demo" mode. For example, in demo mode, you still have protection from right-mouse-click, drag-and-drop and also control which web browsers can access the page.
CopySafe Web Licensing
CopySafe Web software enables the encryption of images that
invoke the CopySafe Web browser plugin when displayed to prevent Print
Screen and screen capture. When
such an image loads, it activates the plugin and when the user
closes the page, the potential to copy is restored. To fully enjoy the
protection of this solution, a domain license is required for the
software that creates the encrypted images for use on your website. Unlicensed images will not display. Nor will they invoke
the browser plugin to enable protection from Print Screen and
screen capture.
CopySafe Web Version Detection & Plugin Installation
When CopySafe Web is applied to a web page, a visitor gets redirected for download and install instructions if they do not have the browser plug-in installed. So as a visitor loads a CopySafe Web page, their web browser is checked for the plugin and verified if their version is current. This WordPress plugin includes everything needed for this task, including download and error pages. CopySafe Web Insert Method
The "CopySafe Web Insert" method refers to the ability to add a small 20 x 20 pixel image to invoke the power of the CopySafe Web plugin. Thus any media can be protected from Print Screen and screen capture. So to protect embedded PDF, Flash and video in your pages and posts, all you need to do is add that small CopySafe Web image.Copy Protection
for All Types Of Media
Note that CopySafe Web provides the most secure all-round protection for encrypted images but when that encrypted image is merely invoking protection from Print Screen and screen capture, there will be other ways that a visitor can save your media, if you let them. For example, a video or Flash movie can still be downloaded directly because the link to your resource can be found in the page's source code. In fact, most video grabbers locate media this way.
So to protect Flash and video from direct downloads and site grabbers, your media needs to either be encrypted and domain-locked like the CopySafe Web images, or they need to be "streamed", which is performed by linking your embedded media player to the media server, instead of linking directly to static files stored in a folder on your website. "Streaming" is more secure because it does not provide a media download, but instead delivers the video in packets. Another advantage of streaming is that media servers can usually detect the speed of a user's Internet connection and adjust download and bit rates for improved viewing experience.
Automatic Sizing of Encrypted Images
CopySafe Web encrypted images can be be displayed at their original size (calculated from the file name) or they can be rescaled by setting width and height in the shortcode.
If width and height settings are left blank in the shortcode
then the original image dimensions can be extracted from the
file name. For example, a typical encrypted image file name might look like StarLight_0600_0400_C.class, where its width is 600 pixels and its height is 400 pixels. This WordPress plugin extracts that information from the image's file name to render the image viewer at the appropriate size.
Adding with and height sizes in the shortcode will over-ride
automatic sizing.Varying
the Level of Protection on Different Pages
Full protection can include limiting the use of task bar, menus and the keyboard. On some pages, you may want to use full protection while on other pages such as web forms and mouse interactive objects; you may want to ensure that the user has full use of mouse and keyboard keys. The default settings is full-protection, so you can enable the following options by simply changing their parameters in the page's setting file from true to false.Download For WP CopySafe Web
The download file below is a self-extracting ZIP file which
contains wp-copysafe-web.zip, which is the package to upload to
your website. Also included in the main ZIP is the install
instructions.
Install Instructions For WP CopySafe Web
You can unzip this file
and upload via FTP or you can upload it and unpack it on the
site from a file manager or Webmin. After installation, you
should see a new folder with its contents at:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-copysafe-web/

permissions on it:

To complete the installation, you can now go to your WordPress

Using the CopySafe Web WordPress Plugin
Now you can create or edit an existing page or post and add copy
protection by uploading or selecting an already uploaded image.
Look for the [C] icon beside the media upload icon.
Note that you can only upload encrypted images that have a [.class]
file extension (see below).
Until you have a CopySafe Web software license and real
encrypted images, or if you just want to use this WordPress
plugin in demo mode to add protection from right-mouse click
and drag-and-drop, you can use the encrypted image included with
the download or this
one. While this 20 x 20 pixel image may not be registered
for your website on the Internet, it will function on any test
server running at localhost. When prompted to upload or select
your first image, you use this one to get started.
Managing Images Used With the WordPress CopySafe Web Plugin
Encrypted images cannot be rescaled, so the images that you
upload need to already be sized to suit your project. This means
that the original images need to be scaled before conversion by
the CopySafe Web software.
CopySafe Web images can be added at the last position of the cursor
by clicking the [C] button.
Once the image is selected, you can then nominate settings to
apply to this particular page or post.
The above default settings are applied to all CopySafe Web pages
and posts.
The class file manager will list all uploaded image class files.
