Javascript based "copy protection"

Hi Everyone --

My reader has been having trouble getting text from pages that employ
javascript based "copy protection" i.e disabling selection events, right
click menus and cut and paste key combos and the like. Does anyone know
how to get around such things without disabing scripting entirely. If
needed I can provide examples of the offending javascript.

Thanks
Matt
