I posted and received an answer to a question with regard to disabling copying of the text on a web page. The question is here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ah2Fr8m5P17azZ8qSi.P68_sy6IX?qid=20070728180322AA4gpSF
My new question is, what is a work around that will enable me to copy that text? The web says "It's easy to get around it if you know how to do it," but they don't explain how. That is the question. How?
An example of the text to be copied is http://www.snopes.com.

Disable JavaScript in your browser, then you can copy from snopes.com.
In FireFox:
(1) Go to Tools > Options...
(2) Select the 'content' tab
(3) un-check "Enable JavaScript"
In Internet Explorer:
(1) Go to Tools > Options...
(2) Select the 'Security' tab
(3) Click the "Custom level" button
(4) Scroll down near the bottom of the resulting dialog and change "Active Scripting" from "Enable" to "Disable"

Not sure but I know if you where to write a poem and send it to yourself in the mail and keep it in a sealed envelope that would stand up as evedince in a federal copyright court. So how could it be different with such a creation as a web page. You might want to save it to MS word or something. Then add quotes and references to any bits of code you borrowed from somewhere else then at the end of the thing site those references in a list and put numbers next to each reference then match the numbers to the quoted portions of the code.

This should be easy to work around. Use you web browser to view the source code of the page and copy and paste that. In Internet Explorer, click the Page icon, and choose view source. In Mozilla Firefox, from the view menu, choose page source. If the area of text you wish to copy includes things like

At the end of the text document, enter the following:
You are now ready to save the document. Save the document by opening the File menu and choosing Save As. In the drop down box next to "Save as type:", choose All Files. In the File name text box, you may enter any name you wish, but remember to add ".html" (without the quotes) to the end of the name. Save the file wherever you want. Open the file in your web browser, and you may copy and paste the text you see.
On snopes.com you can still press Control+A to select all the text and copy it to your notepad then edit out the bits you don't want. Probably the easiest way is to view the page source, find the text you're after and copy/paste it.

The protection on snopes is done with javascript. Turn off javascript on your browser and the protection goes away.
