Unlike other plugins that can do no more than hamper the use of right-click, this solution is the real deal… it uses the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) to prevent screenshots, screen capture and screen recording. ASPS normally requires a dedicated server, but by using this plugin, any WordPress site can utilise real content protection, even from a shared hosting server. * Easy install (use the Classic Editor or Elementor or Gutenberg editor). * Copy protect images, video and PDF displayed on your web pages. * Copy protect GIF, JPG, PNG, MP4, PDF and Word documents. * Prevent sreenshots, screen capture and screen recording. * HTML is encrypted from server to secure browser. * View source for media locations is not possible. * Locating media via packet sniffers is not possible. * Word documents are converted to PDF on the server. * Embeds objects dynamically using JavaScript. * Settings can control user access per platform. * Most secure protection from ALL avenues of copy and save. * Watermark options for position, size, colour and transparency. * Media can be hosted on your site or a third party file service. * Can be viewed on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android phones. Note: This plugin connects to a third party service for copy protection provided by [SafeGuard Media](https://safeguard.media/terms.asp).
