I think what the authors point is that yes, most people won't truly be able to disable it. But for those that want to (say, to copy and paste the entire article for personal gain), it's trivially easy. And it is. Even if they know nothing of web dev, they can google for five minutes and find out how to disable the security "feature".
- danso 14y agoI don't know about that, though. The problem is that many people, especially the type who don't already know how to bypass this, will not even know that the solution is one google search away. It could be a day's worth of hacking into their own browser, for all they know...and that is enough to prevent them from investigating further. The amusing part of this is tha the blogger in question assumes his material is something people want to copy and paste. If it is the case that most of them never wanted to copy and paste in the first place, the blogger will go on thinking that his solution worked, and will continue to stew in his own ignorance
