Hi Phil, The data is valuable to the customer who use the company I work for. If the data is using by someone else, it is a direct competition to the customer and the company I work for. They ask us to protect the data and I have the responsibility to do the job.
I put the data into image and it works really nice for around six months :-) No one bother to grab the data to my best knowledge. :-) Regards Leigh On 4 July 2014 11:14, Phil Scadden <[email protected]> wrote: > Any restriction on scraping can be bypassed with enough effort - even if > you put data into image.
