Keeping in mind that anything you present can/will be copied if there is sufficient interest, regardless of the time and effort you put into it. If it's sufficiently interesting/valuable it will get done. There was a case of a company back in the 80s that specialized in providing complete, electronic phone registries for the US. How did they get them? They bought a copy of every phone book produced in the US and Canada from the local phone services, shipped them over to China where they had a warehouse full of typists entering the data and shipping back CDs of encoded data.
Currently the only way around this is some kind of DRM which IMHO is a complete bastardization of the computing environment.

I could also see it would be possible (albeit not easy!) to create the
dynamic image in a variety of ways. For instance you could replace fields in
a template image or generate a whole new image each time calculating
alignment, etc. PDF, JPG, GIF, whatever format works best for the
programmer. I'm not saying it's easy or efficient, just a possible solution
to this rather odd problem. It's called unconventional thinking, and
perhaps in your environ they call that mad, but then most geniuses aren't
understood in their own time. ;)

Send what, a PDF file or an image. Either way, what you're suggesting is that the developper render the page in HTML and then take a screen capture, sending that screen capture. Yes, that can be done, but I'd question the sanity any anyone doing this in an dynamic environment. Remember, the original poster was using Perl CGI to render HTML.
