A product owner that asked that the content of our poker site be impossible to copy, incase someone should try to copy it.

This isn't bullshit, so much as naivete. And it isn't even that naive, really. Most major news site (the ones that have paywalls at least) do invest a significant amount of resources in making it difficult to (wholesale) pilfer their content -- even though they know it won't be "impossible". Any more than it one could, say, design a security system for a store or a warehouse that would be "impossible" to break into.
