How to counteract content theft?

Question

Content

Hello! There is a site with quite valuable (unique) short publications from 300 to 1000 smvl and up to a dozen who want to copy-paste these publications.
I read a lot about content protection.
Here's the idea that came up:
we catch an event in js - if a visitor has selected a text longer than 50 characters, then he may well want to copy-paste it. We put a cookie in his browser for a week and when the page is updated, he will be politely kicked off - the site is not working (check for the presence of this cookie).
It is clear that many people just like to mindlessly highlight text, me too). Alternatively, you can still catch the context menu call event, but you can also copy-paste with a combination of buttons.
And here's another option: When selecting text, you can write the IP address, the date and name of the machine that copied, then look in the Yandex webizor whether it really copy-pastes and block it by IP address and machine name ...
All these are bicycles .... I would like to hear opinions specialists.

Answer 1

And how will it help?
If there is a desire - copy-paste to anyone. This defense will only work against hard-nosed morons.
Cookies are cleaned like two fingers.
IP - when you log in from a mobile phone / laptop via mobile Internet - each time you get a new IP. I am silent about proxies, and vpn, there is an elementary torus and I2P.
On sober reflection - if there is a copyright warning on the site - and you saw your information somewhere if the distribution conditions were not observed - contact the site owner with a request to remove the content from its resource, in case of refusal you can sue. I would try to hire a lawyer, or at least consult / search the Internet about such cases and cases. Perhaps this will become a new way to monetize content - through lawsuits against copy-pasteers)

Answer 2

Reliably - in any way, except for legal pressure.
All your naive tricks will not save you from the simplest Ctrl + U and automatic parsing.

How to counteract content theft?

Do not publish, alas, just like that.
Think about it: you give your content to the client (when downloading, he already makes a copy), so that he would watch it, and at the same time you don’t want him to copy it, don’t you find contradictions?
The purpose of any protection is to make hacking unprofitable, nothing more.
Of course, you can output it in a form that is not convenient for copying, for example, as an svg generated on a server with curves instead of text. Yes, copying text will make it difficult, but it will not save you from printscreen + character recognition.
For video - you can use streaming, for example based on rtmp, but it will not save you from recording from the screen.
In general, the one who needs to copy will do it, the one who does not need it will not take a steam bath.
