[aklug] Copyright taken to a ridiculous (but logical) extreme

I thought this was rather hilarious:
http://hybrid-auto-cars.com/hybrid-sports-car/sports-car.html

There is nothing strange about the content of the page itself. However,
you will notice something odd if you have JavaScript enabled: If you try
to click and drag across a line of text (to highlight it) the highlight
will not appear. Likewise, if you try to Edit >> Select All, nothing
will be highlighted. Finally, if you right-click on the page, an Alert
box will appear containing the words "Please, do not copy!!!"

Of course, you just need to disable JavaScript on the page to get back
to normality, but I thought it was funny anyway. If you view the page
code, there is a huge block of JavaScript in the middle with the words...

/*****************************************************************

...followed by a bunch of code that captures your mouse clicks. Guess
you've got to do whatever it takes to keep those nasty Web visitors from
reproducing a line or two from your blog without permission!
