The CSS would work, if they copied your source, which I doubt the real idiots would do. Other than that, that's a great idea. You could go so far to include a
<div style="display: none;">Don't be an idiot and steal this page. randomtexteasilyfoundviasearchengine </div>

Good stuff. You don't even need a "discount" to compel someone to sign in. From my experience, most web users will sign up for anything, as long as the process isn't too complicated. And if the copy theft signs in/makes an account, you have his or her personal information. Crafty.

Of course, you (generally speaking) shouldn't do anything more than use this to counter-act theft; if you do, outline it in the company's privacy policy, so users know exactly what's going on. I doubt your business wants a PR black eye for "stealing user information." </disclaimer>
