I found this review of Copysafe. Please comment on his complaints.
Note: While
Copysafe offers a great solution to image and content protection, there is one feature that really annoys me. Once you have a
Copysafe protected image or content displayed in your browser, your other Windows programs are disabled. Now I know this is meant to protect someone from copying or capturing anything on that website, but this also means you can't operate your e-mail client or text editor. This can also wreak havoc with anti-virus programs and firewalls as well.

Copysafe does not affect and is not affected by antivirus programs or firewalls. Firewalls used to be an issue but since the makers of these programs have been offering too many configuration options that can confuse the average user, Copysafe was revised to be compatible under the most severe conditions (Oct 2001).
Why would you want use a text editor while viewing someone else's web page? To try and steal their content? Or to try and locate sources from a view of the page source? Of course these avenues are closed and for very good reasons. This is not a complaint but a very important feature!
To use any other Windows programs or to send email, all you have to do is close (not collapse) the Copysafe page. For example if you have an order form you can link the order form opening it into "_top" frame and Copysafe will be disabled as you leave for the new page. If you have an online survey form you can still use it on the Copysafe page by using checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdown menus. To type text into a text field, you can adjust the security level by using a different insert for that page.
