Hi!
Viewing / reading implies that the information has already been
transferred (downloaded and rendered) to a client browser. So I don't
think that you could totally prevent information extraction on the
client side.
You can make it rather hard though:
1. Use evil things like Flash.
2. Convert the information to a graphic format and use that as
background image. No browser is able to directly download background
images (in the moment).
3. Invent your own crypted text format and develop a viewer for that.
*SCNR* the irony. But it seems you want to solve a organisational
problem with a technical approach. That never works IMHO.
