> Turning off the user's ability to do a screen capture in general is probably the wrong approach — and even if you managed to sink your tendrils deep enough to do this, there'd probably be plenty of ways to work around it. Instead, I'd try to figure out what Apple's DVD player does; it allows you to take screenshots all day long, but the copyrighted content gets replaced by a solid color.
And as a user, I would still expect my screenshot key to function if this mystery app is running in the background, so it had better not remove/trap the key just because it's running. And if you remove/trap it only when it's the foreground app, than what's preventing it from being screenshotted when it's in the background? Look for other ways around being secure - preventing screenshots whole-hog is not a good idea at all.
