TS: text you can copy and paste from websites vs. text you can't

Certain sites have always made their reviews/interviews/whatever unliftable, but lately this practice has become more widespread (also: setting things up so that one must highlight two seconds of the same story on the same page to copy, or breaking up text with ads). Which sucks. I mean, I imagine the idea is to prevent people from stealing/or re-publishing your work or to keep them focussed on the page on which the work appears/susceptible to ad content. But it sucks when, like, I wanna copy something from the A.V. Club to an email file so I can read it during work hours without having my browser up and incurring the wrath of superiors.

Anyway. Just wanted to complain, I'm sure nobody cares.
