   Every site using scripts like WP-CopyProtect will automatically be blacklisted on my computer. There is no reason wse to use something like that because you wont protect anything, only disable functions in the browser.

     it is simply a tool for pretentious tools who think more of their value than they should.

       I agree, but I think ‘naive’ is more accurate than ‘pretentious’. Is there any word that is a mix of the two? That would be perfect.

   WP-CopyProtect : 1. to avoid the right click is absolut no way to protect your posts of copying! To copy a post: 100% using RSS Feeds!

   to disable the right click is horrible at 2008- I blacklist blogs too if I can’t use the right click on there site.

   I’ll also say that WP-CopyProtect isn’t ideal.

   No offence to Chetan, but it doesn’t really protect your content. The real problem is people scraping feeds (or even the HTML source).

   It’s also terrible from a usability perspective. Note the other commentators talking about blacklisting such sites – that’s how strongly people feel about it. I use right click all the time to copy titles and URLs of blog posts I want to write about and link to. If you don’t want people to write about your posts, you’re not a real blogger!

   And of course, it’s pointless, because there’s a Greasemonkey script out there which enforces right click to be enabled (it overrides plugins such as this).
