   I just found a website that doesn't let me copy'n'paste its text. That's taking DRM to the extreme!

     I wonder if there's a US organisaton who would consider organising a class action against websites that stop Fair Use copying? CC? EFF? FSF?

     @lnxw48 thanks for the tip. I've been thinking about setting up a 'Defend Fair Use' site that shares DRM-breaking tips like that

     My wife had that problem recently on a website. I introduced her to the browser's developer tools.

     @mikegerwitz I've used #NoScript, it was good, but it slaughtered a lot of functions I like too. I just need to learn to use it properly

     @antoine9298 Thanks for the tip. That function violates basic academic rights to quote and reference dammit!
