Greetings everyone. I find myself in an unprecedented situation. A website developer is working on a project that renders the text unselectable and uncopyable.
This measure is taken to ensure data security, with additional features to prevent image copying and page code access. Will this innovation have any negative impact on the website's potential for promotion down the line?
To prevent copying of text, one strategy is to disable the key combination that brings up the context menu, such as km12, and to create a transparent block element with a higher z-index than its parent. This will make it harder for users to select the text and copy it without permission.
One method for protecting intellectual property online is to implement tools that prevent unauthorized copying or distribution of content. This can include disabling the right-click function or using encryption to secure files. However, it's important to consider the balance between protection and accessibility, as overly aggressive restrictions can also hinder legitimate use of the content.
There will exist yet another hard-to-find individual named Joe. In order to locate him, the text must be submitted to a search engine without any protective measures.
From there, one can choose to either masquerade as a search engine or utilize OCR screenshots. Doing so will result in significant cost savings. Protective measures will remain effective until an individual is willing to pay a mere 10 cents to parse the page.
When you've copied unique content or the entire site, there are two main ways to resolve the conflict:
First, consider pre-trial settlement by sending a claim to either the site owner or hosting provider. This approach can save time and money, but the disadvantage is that there's a possibility of the claim being ignored.
Alternatively, court proceedings can be filed through a statement of claim in court. While this method allows for compensation, the downside is the amount of time and money it may take.
If there's only one case of copying, it's appropriate to send a claim to the site owner (violator). However, premature conclusions should not be drawn as the owner may not even be aware of copyright infringement on their web resource. In such situations, extrajudicial measures can be taken to stop infringement.
The Federal Law "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection" regulates the procedure for implementing extrajudicial measures at a copyright holder's request. The requirements include information about the copyright holder or authorized representative, the object of copyright and related rights, the domain name and network address of the website, rights to the object of copyright, and consent to personal data processing. The application can be submitted in writing or electronically by the copyright holder or authorized representative.
While making text unselectable and uncopyable may provide an additional layer of data security, it can have negative implications for website promotion. One aspect of promotion involves search engine optimization (SEO), where search engines index the content of a website to determine its relevance and rank it accordingly. By rendering the text unselectable and uncopyable, search engines may struggle to index and understand the content, which can negatively impact the website's visibility in search results.
Additionally, users typically expect the ability to select and copy text on websites for various reasons, such as quoting or sharing information. Disabling this feature may frustrate and discourage users from engaging with the content, potentially leading to a decrease in traffic and user interaction.
In addition to the SEO and user experience considerations mentioned earlier, there are a few more potential negative impacts of making text unselectable and uncopyable on a website's promotion:
1. Accessibility: Rendering text unselectable can pose challenges for users with disabilities who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies to access content. These tools often require text to be selectable to properly read out the content to users. By limiting text selection, you may inadvertently exclude a portion of your audience.
2. Content Sharing: In today's digital age, content sharing is a common way for users to spread information and promote websites organically. Disabling the ability to copy text hampers this organic word-of-mouth promotion, as users won't be able to easily quote or reference your content in their own blogs, social media posts, or discussions.
3. Mobile Experience: On mobile devices, text selection is especially important. Users frequently select and copy text on their smartphones or tablets for various purposes, such as looking up information or sharing it via messaging apps. Disabling this functionality may hinder the overall mobile experience and discourage engagement.
