Isn't this a feature? Having text easy to copy and paste is a copyright problem for many sites. Same with being able to save full-resolution images. It's pretty common to see a copy/paste in forum comments to get around a paywall.
IMO either this or some other webassembly view is the future, simply because it's great DRM. Sure, you can circumvent it, but most people cannot.
- whalesalad 6y agoInteresting rationalization. Don’t you think copying text is the norm and not the exception?
- eulers_secret 6y agoI do think it's the norm, and very much dislike this trend. I should make my position more clear: I hate this stuff with a passion. But, big business wants better content protection, and big money always gets what it wants - very few exceptions there. I wish we could do something as technologists who want to keep these features of the web; but against trillion dollar companies I know who I'd bet for...
- whalesalad 6y agoWith that attitude they will continue to win!
- ttt0 6y agoIt's the same argument as with DRM. I can just screenshot the text. It doesn't solve anything and only makes it painful for the average user.
