Method for encouraging internet publication browsing while discouraging unauthorized printing

摘要

A method for making written material available for browsing and downloading via the global computer network while discouraging unauthorized printing of that written material, wherein the method includes uploading to and making available from a server a salable file embodying the written material and uploading to and making available for browsing on the server a browsable file containing the written material, the written material having a colored background and contrasting text such that printing of the written material embodied in the browsable file consumes sufficient quantities of printer medium so as to discourage unauthorized printing of the written material.
