Websites that have copy/paste and print screen disabled.

[TWWBM618]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if there is a way to copy and paste from websites that have the function disabled? Actually I know there is a way as I've seen people do it plently of times before at school haha. I read on another forum a user claiming to be able to get around the problem in 20 seconds??

I've disabled JavaScript on FF and can now hightlight and right click on the webpage, but whenever I go to paste into Word all that appears is "*".
Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

BY disabling JavaScript, that should do the trick, unless the page also uses CSS to shift contents on the page around, so what you think you're copying in fact isn't.

Try disabling CSS as well using any one of Firefox's plugins that do this, for example: http://www.everythingtech.tv/2006/05...e-myspace-css/

Hmmm, well now I can copy and paste some of the text, but all of the images are missing!!

I have seen a few sites that disabled right-click, and even going to the screen menubar (source) nothing comes up. How is that done in IE ?

Tools->Internet Options->Security Tab bar->Custom Level->Disable Active scripting (at the end of the list)

If I do this on my computer, how will this stop you from seeing the source ?

It won't stop anyone from seeing the source. It will stop Javascript from working, though.

You can just to a print screen to get any image.

However, the real point here is that the images and other content are copyrighted. It's not ok to copy it, whether you can or can't, unless you have permission. It's not hard to steal content, because no restrictions work very well, but that doesn't mean that it's legal, or ok to.


This forum isn't about how to steal stuff, though, so please keep that in mind.

It's not. If you view a source code and it is all blank... scroll down as I promise they have a ton of blank space atop their source.

To answer the OP question, if you see something you need to C&P all you have to do is view source code, and copy it from there.

If it is on the page it is in the source. (with rare exceptions)

[djr33]

The only exception is when it's added through Javascript/frames/etc, and then it's just a matter of following the layers.

Hey Blizzard, long time no see !

Yes, I see that trick quit often, but I swear I have seen sites where it is impossible to see the code. Something is disabled

Totally agree, but the only way I learn to write sites is through looking at codes and going through this forum ...
