disable CTRL C
-
As far as I am aware its impossible to completly disable CTRL C or even the right click of a mouse because it can only be done using javsscript or client side code and users are able to manipulate this. Am I right in saying that?
You could pull off their ctrl keys, and give them Mac 1 button mice

Yup. Even if you wrote your own browser and blocked ctrl+c & right mouse clicks in the browser code itself, a technically minded user could still just watch the http stream[^] and pick out any data they wanted. (Although I suppose you could then encrypt with https). Are you talking about images or text? Images could also be grabbed via screen shots. I suppose even text could be grabbed via screen shots and run through an OCR app if the user was desperate.

I found this script: at http://javascript.about.com/library/blnoright.htm is there a similer one for disabling short cut keys?

The classic work around for this is to simply hold the shift key while right clicking. Most web designers are not capable of doing bitwise checks :laugh:

All my complexity, with lifting data from the http stream, or OCRing a screen shot of the text and you come along with "press the shift key". Sometimes simple is defiantly better.

Actually, IIRC, you need to hold down shift (or alt or a combo) when you click (they checked that too). I am talking about 10 years back now, they probably have found much better workarounds (copy/paste code) by now.

Or copy them out of the browser cache

It's also extremely annoying. :| There are all sorts of potentially-useful things that come disabled by default in proper browsers these days, precisely because short-sited folk mis-used them to try to impose their will on the hapless user. Abuse it, and lose it. If you don't want users copying things then don't put those things in web pages. It's just that simple.

Make the presentation format "non-standard"; make a Java applet fill up the browser window, and using Java to display the content.
So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

And people wonder why other people later on in this forum today are posting programming questions, clearly this guys are getting answered here.
