| Does the user need any special program or viewer to browse the CD content? |

| No special viewer is required. The user views your content using their default web browser. That is all they need. Nothing needs to be downloaded and the CD can be viewed while offline... on any Windows computer and doesn't need to be connected to the Internet. |

| A lot of the webmasters I spoke to are plugin adverse. They don't want people to have to install a viewer to see their content. |

That's amusing... are these the same webmasters that use Flash and other new effects on a web page that cause the visitor to download a plugin?
Anyway, in answer to your question... no plugin or special viewer is needed for ArtisCD. The content is viewed using your default WEB BROWSER and everyone has one of these. The whole system will run locally without being connected to the Internet.
But if you want to protect from Printscreen and screen capture while the content is loaded in a browser window, you need to also use Copysafe which incidentally does use a plugin.
JavaScript or any other surface level scripting will NOT protect your content. Thanks to the makers of browsers who seem more intent in including options for grabbing, saving and stealing everything else's stuff on the web, plus the makers of applications specifically designed to grab and steal your content, including sucking everything off your web site and compiling it into an e-book for redistribution, there are so many holes to close that it is not a simple task and the programming languages
needed have to either be in Windows itself or installed later as a dll or similar to have the necessary permissions. So a plugin is required...
The real issue is "do you want the content protected securely or not?" because you cannot do it without a plugin!
