MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 (edited) Umm... I guess you didn't read the post. I meant when 1bob would prompt something if you tried to copy anything. ESPN isn't doing that... they just are making it so you can't highlight anything to copy and paste it. Edited January 23, 2004 by MrRant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Well, there's TONS of other sports sites that I can site from. ESPN might dominate the airwaves, but they aren't the only fish on the internet. Crap like this will only cost them traffic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Well Firebird works fine as well.. but I don't have that here at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Oh, I thought you meant the pop up nature of the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 I use TSN, but that's mostly because I'm only interested in hockey and baseball, both of which they cover liberally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Easier way about this. Click "Print Story" on the espn tools sidebar. A printable version comes up on the screen, and you can highlight that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 what strike's me odd about this, that they do this with Hockey and not another sport (unless Rant just randomly pick a story) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1715560 Here's the story about Norv and the Raiders. Same thing. This was the first one I tried and then the hockey one to make sure I was correct in what I was seeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mole 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Well, there's TONS of other sports sites that I can site from. ESPN might dominate the airwaves, but they aren't the only fish on the internet. Crap like this will only cost them traffic. How would it stop people going to their site? They still write good articles and most people just read them and don't copy/paste them somewhere else.

Guest OctoberBlood Report post Posted January 23, 2004 I use Avant Browser [iE Engine] so this sucks. Fuck ESPN. No more going there. Not like they ever [rarely, maybe] have anything "breaking" that other sites don't. I use Mozilla as a backup. I could switch to that sometimes, but not worth the time.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 A couple of the other forums I go to have rules against posting the full text of an article to discourage people from doing this to protect the sites interest in you reading the article on their site. You act as if this is some sort of huge deal, but honestly on major sites you are going to see more and more of it to prevent articles from easily being plagarized to other sites and the like, especially sites that pay the people who write the articles.
