ABSTRACT:
A method for preventing copying a proprietary digital image data that is rendered within a window displayed on a computer monitor, including providing screen pixel data for rendering on a computer monitor, the screen pixel data including pixel data for a first window having proprietary digital image data therewithin, detecting that a second window is going to be displayed on the computer monitor, determining the position and size of the second window, determining, based on the position and size of the second window, a portion of the screen pixel data wherein the first window is going to be covered by the second window, and replacing the portion of the screen pixel data with substitute pixel data, prior to the second window being displayed. A system is also described and claimed.
