"HTML should be about"; you mean "Internet should be about"; why to stop at DRM? lets create one for text so nobody can copy our news articles; lets create one for pictures so you can't download our precious photos; anyone supporting this is not seeing the gigantic wormhole it will create just for the sake of watching "Arrested Development" in your web browsing devices (BTW, even TV will be more open than Internet because AFAIK they can't restrict what you record from your TV)

A lot of website has that covered already with super secure JavaScript that prevents right-clicking and text selection.

  And one can simply view source to get around that...

    Is actually easier than that; when you use "print" in Chrome an other modern browsers you can select the text and pics there without messing with HTML tags.
