What's going wrong
Site owners who installed this copy protection plugin report that text can still be copied with Ctrl+C or Command+C, through the browser menu, or by selecting text directly. Some say the protection worked earlier and then stopped, while others say it never blocked keyboard copying at all. Owners who publish paid or original writing feel the plugin promises more than it delivers. A fix would be a verification service that tests protected pages across browsers and shortcuts and shows exactly which copy routes remain open.
