non-downloadable content

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to prevent users from downloading files (pictures, videos...) that I post on my Moodle site?
It doesn't need to be an extremely safe way, I'm thinking more of making it  difficult as most of the users won't be computer savvy.
Thank you very much!

Well you could embed your videos in Moodle's player and the same with pictures, although they could still right click and save the pictures. Documents such as Word documents you could type or paste into a Moodle page which means they can't simply download it -they'd have to screenshot it to get its information.

But to  be honest, I wouldn't bother that much - anyone who is that determined to download your content will do so - if it means as I said before, taking screenshots of everything.
