Anyone know how websites can display text but prevent copying? It's very common on Korean sites, but I've seen it elsewhere, too.

Here's an example:

It's easy enough to use CTRL-F to search and select a text string, but even with that text "selected," you can't copy it.

Don't misunderstand -- I'm not trying to pirate their stuff, just curious. And if I wanted to quote them within the limits of "fair use," I'd have to retype and proof my copy.

Thanks.

I was unable to select anything on the page. Whatever code is being used, it is done with javascript. By disabling javascript for that site, I could select and copy text from there.
