How To Copy Text from Restricted Website

Have you ever experienced some of web pages that don’t allow you to select and copy text?

One of the intention is to prevent anybody from stealing the content and distribute it for commercial purpose.

In fact this is a little trick that is done by using javascript which prevent you from selecting the text and eventually fail to copy it. Here I would like to show some simple steps that you can turn the situation around by able to copy the text without any restriction!

To overcome this restriction, follow below steps:

1. Go to the website which restricts you from selecting and copying.

2. Copy below javascript and paste it at the address bar and hit enter key.

Code:

javascript:void(document.onselectstart=null)

3. Now you can select and copy the text from this website using conventional way, highlight the text followed by CTRL+C to copy, then paste it into notepad or word document.

Also note that if you are using Opera Web Browser then you do not need to put this javascript since it has its own built-in context menu!
