Which was my point.
If a client was to disable OGC and take a screenshot, the second the
original screenshot was taken, would make the entire screenshotting
process pointless. Which is why I believe a client image, and a server
logged checksum for the image would be the only effective way you can
ensure you are recieving a valid unedited file.
But again I guess they could simply build a 'hack' for that process too.
