How would DSpace know what a client is planning to do with the
document?  There is no technical means of preventing a user from
saving a copy of a document he can read.

The only available protection is legal.  Permit access only to
logged-on users who are known to have signed an agreement not to save
copies.  If you find that someone broke his contract with you, sue.
