Disabling copy-paste is exactly the kind of thing that a higher-level manager sees on some website, decides immediately that it’s very important for content protection and IP and trade secrets and whatnot, then emails a middle manager to have this implemented ASAP. A week later the request has filtered into a ticket that lands in the front-end developer’s inbox.
What should the developer do exactly? Ignore the ticket? Educate the manager who’s perhaps three steps up in the hierarchy and doesn’t even know the person’s name who is charged with implementing the misfeature? Neither would go down well.
