Copying the text of a protected web page: Copying the work of others is not ethically correct, we understand that. However, curating the content and citing the source of the content properly is legally and ethically correct. As bloggers or content writers, we all curate content from multiple websites, but we don't steal it, instead we give those websites credit if we publish their content. However, not all people are the same, so their purposes for copying content are different. There are people who simply copy and paste the hard work of others without giving the proper citations and credits. This is not acceptable. Therefore, to detect plagiarism in Internet content, most of the website owners have started to put Javascript code to prevent copying of content from their websites.
They just put a code that disables the "Right Click" and "Copy" options on their website. Generally, we are all used to selecting content by right-clicking and selecting copy. Once this feature is disabled on websites, we are left with one option & which is to leave the website and find another source to copy that particular content. The Internet is a source for relevant information on any subject. In the race to protect website content, website administrators are activating content protection features.
