2. Peiper, you can bypass most copy & paste blocking by simply turning off JavaScript in your browser temporarily and then turning it back on after.

   It’s lame to even try to prevent copy and paste, you can simply bypass it by turning off JavaScript.  I suppose it’s mostly effective because most users wouldn’t know that trick.

   If it’s a PDF then that’s a different story.  PDF’s have DRM and can also be encrypted so if they don’t want you to copy text then you cannot copy text.  You can take a screenshot and run it through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) but that’s a pain in the neck.
