This website that threatens anyone who right clicks

lol, copying isn’t theft. You already had to download a copy just to view it. That’s how websites work.
- Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
  If you copy something you are not entitled to because of copyright, it's copyright infringement.
  With theft the originally owner loses what is stolen, with copyright infringement the owner only loses the license fee for 1 copy.
  Not the same thing, and calling it theft is purely a propaganda term invented by the media industry.
  
  It should also be noted that copyright laws usually have all sorts of exceptions for fair use such as satire, education, etc. Typically, keeping and even using a copy without permission is legally allowed under certain circumstances.
  
  With theft the originally owner loses what is stolen, with copyright infringement the owner only loses the license fee for 1 copy.
  There used to be an anti-piracy lobby group in Australia literally called "Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft". I always had an issue with their name since they were really against copyright infringement, not "copyright theft" which is just a nonsense term like you said. It's been ruled several times by courts both in Australia and in the USA that it can't be called "theft" (e.g. https://www.techdirt.com/2013/12/02/surprise-mpaa-told-it-cant-use-terms-piracy-theft-stealing-during-hotfile-trial/).
  
  I like to think of it as something similar to watching a football match from the other side of the fence. People who paid the ticket, are loyal fans. People who didn’t pay, but still want to see the match, probably aren’t even part of the target audience. Some of them might be, but that’s a small number.
  So, when the football company says that they’ve lost the sales of x number of tickets, they are actually saying that if those people had enough money and if they cared enough, they might have paid this amount of money.
- "Tools" -> "Page info" -> "Media" menu on Firefox - you can even see and save the images that the browser already downloaded.
  
  or save page to download all loaded image assets from a page into a nice folder
- Try telling that to the AI hysterics
  
  It’s different when you earn profit from another person’s work.

ah, yes, the right click menu
- Funny because Inspect offers all the stealing tools
  
  It is awesome but some websites seem to detect when Dev Tools get brought up, can you explain this?

you focus on that popup and ignore all the crank shit that is on this page
yes a piece of granite (?) with $60 pricetag put on my amplifier COMPLETELY changes how my vinyls sound like
statements dreamed of by the utterly deranged
- Right click?? Why did we ever need a second or third or seventeenth button anyway?
  They have played us for absolute fools
  
  a single button makes the clicks sound warmer.
  
  That mouse worked just fine for Crystal Quest! Kids these days.
- A piece of granite placed on the turntable would change how his records sound, but not necessarily in a good way.
  Depending on the artist of course.
  
  Does it only work for rock albums?
  I'll see myself out.

All this does is infuriate actual users trying to use your site. Content thieves will just download it via a script or curl and you won't be able to do anything about it.
- Also in some browsers (I know Gecko-based ones at least), you can override JavaScript by holding shift while you right-click.
  
  Huh, didn't know that! Thanks, super useful

I always found these anti-right-click scripts funny since they usually don't block Ctrl+S to save the page, Ctrl+U to view source, or Ctrl+P to print (or these days, F12 to open the browser dev tools)
- My personal favorite is Ctrl+Shift+C which brings up Dev tools in selection mode, so you can click on the picture or whatever and be taken straight to its HTML code.
  
  Ooooh as a developer I am very grateful for this tip
  
  It also is a bit annoying that that is the keybinding, because whenever I have to copy something from the browser to the terminal, I must remind myself not to do Ctrl-shift-c as I would in the terminal.
- Shift + right-click will override all this BS in Firefox.
- JavaScript is no match for wget -r.
  
  But then you find that website used JavaScript to calculate URLs to the actual website content for which wget is no match.
  Or it's just otherwise JavaScript-dependent website. Wget can't parse that.
- I just turn off JavaScript and then right click works again.
- I can take a screenshot and then have it automatically OCR the text. Hell, I can take a picture with my phone of my chicken scratch handwriting and have it OCR.
  And as someone who remembers buying OCR software from OfficeMax for $40 that barely worked, that's pretty amazing.
  
  What are you using to OCR screenshots? I have lots of old screenshots and I'd love to OCR them and find notable things I worked on and took a screenshot of.
- Or reader mode or page info or.. well, anything. All it does is annoy the user when tripped.
- And good old screen sniping tools

There is a 100% chance this warning correlates with the actual content on this site being hot garbage
- it is

Audiophile equipment is just magic crystal bullshit for pseudointellectuals.
- To an extent yes but it's essentially just extreme deminishing returns
  
  there are both categories.
  Some things are marginally better and incredibly expensive.
  Other things, such as garden hose power snakes and these "audiophile crystals" are just pure scam.
  
  I'd be all up for some diminishing returns but the price premium is nowhere close to adequate. For the price of an overbuilt headphone amp you can buy a soldering iron and parts for three amps that are four times as overbuilt. And include a metrology-grade DAC in all of them.
  And, yes, my headphone cable is oxygen-free copper. I simply chose the cheapest suitable cable I could find at Thomann, the stuff is so cheap they're throwing it in there for diminishing returns in sales.

He should just ask for a donation. His work isn't that valuable
- Considering they think putting rocks on top of your playing equipment changes the sound, their work has negative value.
  
  Technically, a weight on top of AV equipment's cases will change the resonant properties of the chassis but that does not produce audible effects unless it's on the speaker cone. The author considers this and dismisses the possibility because “rocks not heavy enough”.
  Also, a sufficiently large rock will affect the performance of any Hi-Fi equipment.
  
  Sometimes I think the whole industry of audiophile is just a bunch of baloney. Reminds of chifi IEM the KZ ZEX pro or something where people were praising for the improve sound and more drivers. Turns out only 1 driver is used and the rest are just there to justify increase in the price. It being no different than their cheaper version.
  
  That's not untrue though... Putting rocks on your sound system could make the rocks vibrate against it and sound like utter shit.

- He could afford hundreds of dollars' worth of placebo just for this single article. Either there's an undisclosed sponsorship deal, or he has enough money to fuel all his ~~means of self-delusion~~ hobbies.

In my whole life I never bought digital audio or video content on vinyl, VHS, CD, DVD, Blueray. Never ever. It sounds as weird to me like paying for air to breath.
But one day I visited a live concert of a small band which I loved as a teenager. After the show I met with their drummer, gave him €200 cash and said "You know, when I was young you were cool about kids copying your music without paying. You told us if we like you music we can enjoy it. And if we can afford it, we can pay you. Back then I couldn't. Today I can."
And so I paid them five times as much as I saved back then by copying their music.
- You are a very good person.
  This is utterly irrelevant to people copying multi-million sales dickshits like Metallica.
  
  I bet Lars would have declined the money and ask for your info then sued.

Don't get scammed with audiophile rocks. I've done my research and found out that audiophile rock salt does the exact same thing and it is MUCH cheaper! Feel free to copy this and spread the word!
- Are you sure it isn’t the kitty sticker?
  
  ..... Jesus fucking christ. My research is invalid. I'm going to have to start all over again. 🤬
- Dang that sounds so good I can hear it in the image.
  
  Right?? It's crunchy! That's what all audiophiles want. Crunchiness.
- You won't come after me if I right click? Legally, I mean.
  Sound like entrapment tbh
  
  No no, I'm not like that, I promise. I understand your skepticism. It saddens me that this is where we're at today but I understand.
- 😉 😜
- You're doing it wrong. You need to match the type and size of the rock to your headphone impedance, this is common knowledge man
  
  I would need a boulder yo. My headphones have an impedence of 170,000 ohms. This will have to do.
- Great, thank you for your research but do you have any audiophile jazz salt?
  
  Wait, there's jazz salt???
- How much can I buy them from you for
  
  Sorry I can't sell any at all. Not even a gram. I have exactly enough for myself, nothing to spare.

As I See It, News, comments & Information
Apr 16, 2019
Recently I have discovered my review work (1) and show reports taken and reproduced without my permission by four websites, one of whom took the material down when asked – they should not have reproduced it in the first place. When approached they said ‘sure that is how the net works, I am helping you by doing this’. No you are not, you are only helping yourself dasklang.com (2), creating traffic to your site off the back of my work not your own. How would you like it if I reproduced the design of your products ? Then told you my doing so was helping you. You wouldn’t.
I was going to let this go, but why should I? I have struggled personally to try and put some content on my site, battled reviwers burn out and other issues. Content that in many cases I have paid for out of my pocket to write about, not items loaned by manufacturers or distributors, but products I had bought, sometimes simply to write about them. However even if I had not parted with my money, my time and effort is worth something surely? Worthy of respect that I would at the very least be offered a chance to give my permission as to how my work is used, and where. None of these websites asked, they took what wasn’t theirs to use, to put content on their sites.
The websites that still have my material up without permission are isecope.com, headgames online and technocratsblog.com, all three I suspect are linked.
As they are watching this site maybe after being named and shamed they will remove the material. I doubt it, I guess I will have to go after them with DMCA’s and report to their web-hosts.

That used to be fairly common 10-15 years ago.
- Huh. Wonder why they stopped the warnings if it was so effective.
  
  Every porn site: "Are you over 18 years of age"
  13 year old me: "Yes"
  
  It's just an alert() function thrown at you. Whatever it says, it is not enforceable as it is not a contract. But It's annoying
  
  It was/is extremely easy to bypass. All you have to do is disable Javascript, or what 13-year-old me used to back in the day was spam the right-click button and the menu would pop up before the script could stop you.

I was about to give some empathy for the dude but their articles are trash and they would be lucky if we stole them.
- Zero empathy. There are tons of reasons to right click that have nothing to do with copying, plus he's a complete moron to think that there's any way to prevent someone from saving something that's already downloaded on their computer.

- Yeah if you disable JavaScript with uBlock Origin everything works fine haha

Meanwhile, their robots.txt doesn't disallow GPTBot or Google Bard. So apparently they're okay with content being stolen by for-profit companies.
- you think either of those companies pays attention to robots.txt? its not legally binding or anythjng
  
  At the executive level, no I don't think they care or pay attention, but considering both have said "here's how to block our crawler," I do hope that that some mistreated developer did actually program a check in to the crawler. I still think it's worth doing, even though I don't fully trust them.
- I feel sorry for the guy now. He's in over his head and trying to defend himself ineffectively. And now a bunch of lemmings are mocking him too, which I get, but it's still fucked up. Humans suck.
  
  i don't feel bad dunking on this guys site. doing this is a dick move for accessibility reasons
  
  Yeah, based on his robots.txt it seems to be a Wordpress site, so he's probably just installed an ineffective plugin to prevent copying. At least he can take solace in the fact that most of us probably aren't any more relevant than he is.

Now I want to go there and steal everything.

I was going to copy content from the page using Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy in Firefox, but then I realized the content isn't worth copying.
So yes, there are add-ons to easily extract text and bypass this. The text is sent to your computer. It's your computer. You can copy the content.
- Don't even need an addon, just hit F12 to open dev tools and use the network tab to get images/videos, and inspector tab for text.
- It's done by overriding the document.onrightclick and the selection start something function in the browser. Reset it and you're done.
  I know this because of a manufacturers website that does this. So incredibly annoying when the only reason anybody would want to copy from their webbo is for reference of their own products. In my case the product numbers to search for where to buy it.
- I bet in ublock origin you can just click the "block JavaScript" button and refresh the page. That works for a lot of things like this.

looks like its just setting some events, these two lines should clear the anti-select and the anti-right click respectively if pasted into the debug console:
js

document.body.onselectstart = undefined document.oncontextmenu = undefined
- Firefox has an add-on called "Allow Right-Click" that lets you easily toggle blocking right-click scripts. Some sites offer a useful context menu, like Google Drive, so you don't necessarily want to always be blocking them. Hence the toggle.
  
  Or you can simply shift + right click
- you reminded me of a site that was "down for maintenance" (they were just spamming an alert) after using the block multiple alerts button in firefox, it works fine

just in case someone feels like right-clicking. (CTRL+Shift+K opens the console in Firefox, but shht)
- god i even get the popup on mobile
  
  If you use brave and block scripts you can download all you want. Not that there's anything really worth taking from there.

Seems like the kind of thing a person does when they understand technology well enough to use it badly but don't recognize that it's ineffective against anyone willing to type "enable right click" into their search engine of choice.
How much do you want to bet that they didn't write the JavaScript for that message and it's just been copied and edited? Probably even right-clicked to do it, the scalawag.
- How much do you want to bet that they didn't write the JavaScript for that message
  They definitely didn't-- the page source has it copied from another blog:
  /******************************************************************************
  *** COPY PROTECTED BY http://chetangole.com/blog/wp-copyprotect/ version 3.1.0 ****
  ******************************************************************************/
  var message="Copying my work, without written permission is theft. You are not helping me, only yourself, and you are a thief. Reproduce my work and I will come after you legally.";
  function clickIE4(){
  if (event.button==2){
  alert(message);
  return false;

I run NoScript and I can right-click just fine.

This was more or less standard 20 years ago!
Even disabling the ability to select text and sometimes also dissabling the Ctrl + C shortcut!
- The latter is still done by old code and outdated management that thinks disabling the clipboard is "more secure". It's fucking infuriating.

Isn't there a browser extension to prevent exactly that? Like, "Allow right click"?
- No need, at least on Firefox you can hold down shift (or alt? I never remember) + right click to bypass such restrictions
  
  Can confirm, just tested it on that site and it works (it's shift).
- There are extensions that will download any media you want as long as it is in the source. There's a double left click to save an image one that is very useful.

Looks like a prolapsed anus from hell.

Mildly amusing.

Empty threats of legal actions really paint you in a good light.

How hilariously useless.

brb going to host a duplicate site under a dubiously duplicated domain name.

flashback to my first website in the 90s that put cute messages on right click.

CTRL + U opens the page source code
- you can just use noscript to block javascript
  
  extra hilarious, since most of the content-stealing things these days are scraping bots. So allowing no-script content is extra convenient!
  
  That works too. There are so many ways to get around this.

oops, I wrong-clicked

  oops.
  Edit: Holy shit I just read the page. These people are lunatics.
  
  Not lunatics - grifters. They have to write a lot of copy about blind testing with various rocks sat on top of their hi-fi to convince idiots to buy said rocks at extortionate prices, so that’s probably why they’re so sensitive about their rivals re-using or “stealing” their copy.

I wonder what percentage of sites that still use that are either pieces of shit, or just pirates trying to fend off competing pirates

"under blind listening conditions as well as sighted listening."
I decided to find this article and it's more wild than I expected. I often listen with my eyes. It very much influences the quality of the audio I listen to.
- You know how you close your eyes when you're trying to listen to something carefully? There you go.

google lens ready

I often copy things and paste them into google translate to translate them into my language.

Paranoid much?

Control/command+shift+i

Now you’ve done it, you’re in trouble now!

What was the nature of your right click?
- I believe they used the middle finger on their right hand, and depressed it on the second (right) button of their mouse.
  They could possibly be using their mouse in left-handed mode, which might've meant using the index finger on their left hand to achieve the same action.
  Then again, it's possible that they're using their mouse in mirrored, left-handed mode, and they could've used the middle finger on their left hand to depress the primary (left) button of their mouse.
  Of course, this only covers hand use of a traditional mouse. I can't speak as to whether OP is using an upright, ergonomic mouse of some sort, of even a stylus and tablet. There's just so many possibilities!
  
  They can't be lost, they're on instruments up there!
