How to protect blog contents from Copy: Stopping people from copying your work :: Bloggers Guide

Stopping people from copying your work

Physically stopping people from being about to make copies of  work is another approach.

In this post, I would like my visitors to learn how to protect (Disable Copying Text) your hard work spend in creating and writing fresh articles on your website or blog by being stolen by some others.

Copying the writing from your website and placing it elsewhere is common on the net. There are sites which often doesn’t make it possible for us to copy the content on the web pages. The content function is disabled from the site through the site admin so that you can protect the website. We might find how to implement the identical methodology pertaining to Blogger. This key is valid for almost any sites. This trick will probably disable (Ctrl+A) function to your site.

Sometimes the trick may not be compatible with some old browsers. But, we will see how to make things more secure in my future posts.

There are scripts that you can add to your blog that disable the right-click option for anyone who is viewing the page: this makes it harder to copy-and-paste text or to save pictures.  However I don't recommend this approach: it's easy for tech-savvy people to disable the scripts or to work around them (eg to look at your page source code and copy the picture location from it), and because it stops your viewers from doing other things (eg opening links in a new window) that they should be able to do. 

Another option is to stop people from copying text from your blog. As with disabling right-click, I don't much like this approach, and don't use it: as with disabling right-clicks, it doesn't apply to RSS-feed or email subscribers, and a determined copycat can either disable Javascript, or take a screen shot and OCR it, or even just re-type the content.  But it might be suitable for some blogs. 

Copy the following HTML code and place it anywhere in your blog. This will disable right key of the computer mouse. 

Steps to implement to Blogger (Disable Copying Text):

1. Go to Dashboard > Select the blog where you would like to implement the code
2. Go to Layout > Add a Gadget > Select “HTML/JavaScript gadget”
3. Paste the following code in the box:

<script src='demo-to-prevent-copy-paste-on-blogger_files/googleapis.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined" ) {
  document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false" );
} else {
  document.onmousedown=new Function ("return false" ); document.onmouseup=new Function ("return true" );
}
</script>



Save it!! Now your contents are protected from copy.
