Disable copying data from webpage

Question

I was looking for any way to create web page,so that user wont be able to copy content from my web page. i.e. User wont be able to select the any text present on the webpag

Answer 1

If you send down any text the user will be able to see the source, so disabling copy and paste by any method will not really help stop the determined copier.

The most effective approach would be to render your text in to an image on the server and send down the image and not the raw text, but before you do that there are several downsides to consider: 1) You will require capacity on your server to generate the image. 2) The data load will be higher than just text and compresion will be less effective. 3) You may also loose some caching options.

Is there a particular reason you don't want the user to copy the text, perhaps if you can provide more details other approaches may be possible?
