On 9/11 I was pitching website development at a large architect bureau in the Netherlands. As internet was pretty new for the "normies", the ceo insisted that visits to the site would cost money for the visitor so he could make back the money he spent on having it built and that all images cannot be saved (including by screenshot) in any way. We got interrupted when the first plane went into the trade center and the day ended there as it did for most people. We got a call (guy didn't use email yet) that he talked to a few companies after us and he was having a custom Windows application (there was a company actually in NL that did not believe in the web and made website 'apps' and had a framework in Java swing to make them; you had to download the jar and sometimes pay to view the 'website' content) made which would act as his site which worked as he specified. I am guessing he sold (it was E1 per download) zero, but it is not that weird actually. I still encounter the request to make it impossible to download anything from a site at clients ceo/cfo or lawyers this day.
