While preparing a post last night for the "Filipino Monkey" thread, I ran across this page with the song lyrics I wished to quote:
Soundclick | Depeche Mode | Blasphemous
Rumours
Check it out, go there and try to select something to copy.
Weird, huh?
The
entire page is
locked down!
You can't select
anything!
You can't even right-click a contextual menu on that page!
Anyone who wishes to quote, excerpt or blatantly steal any of that page's contents will have a much more difficult time of it.
We know that these ethically-challenged low-lifes who steal someone else's work, are just plain lazy jerks who can't be bothered to do the work
themselves; it's easier to just glom onto someone else's "baby" and
steal their content and call it their own.
This "locked" encoding would make it
that much more difficult to
easily steal someone else's intellectual property.
In examining the page source, and I'm far from competent in these regards, I noticed a command "function disableselect" and a "meta" that enabled
the actual lyrics to be housed in a separate database, to make them unavailable even in the "page source."
May I humbly suggest that this "locked" encoding be considered and incorporated into
our forums?
Is it even possible?
