Copy Protection Used Now On Web Sites

[Fiver]

When did it become possible to prevent someone from copying text off of a web page? I see this done more and more now by web site owners of larger sites where you get a pop up warning and you literally can't use Cntr+C to copy something.

Is this some snazzy new Javascript or something?

In all seriousness, how old are you?

No disrespect to OP, but I couldn't help but laugh.

I've never seen that before, do you have a link?

[JavaScript] function disableselect(e) { return false; } function reEnable() { - Pastebin.com

OP, you know you can just disable javascript and copy & paste the content right? Or view the content in the source code...​

Nobody right clicks on my websites without hearing a BEEP and getting a pop-up. Also, if you copy+paste something, it adds a do-follow link to it as a reference.

Back at the time of altavista this 'technique' was quite popular.

You have been online 5 years and just found this? And can't figure out how to get around this? For realz?

I hate it when the bank's online banking site also has that annoying javascript window popup telling you that the use of your right mouse button has been disabled. This is popular in Hong Kong at least, and it's total amateur hour. It's like a script you'd have on a geocities or angelfire site, not a bank.

Plus it's pathetically easy to bypass.

If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't need to right click anyways.
