Due to numerous accounts of materials from the Al Gore Support Center being lifted without permission, we have now set into place a system in which no one will be able to take content from our website by saving it and uploading, or copying and pasting, it to their site. We are sorry if this is an inconvience for you in any way. Hopefully, the people who snag content from this site, along with others, will learn to ask and give proper credit the next time they want something. Again, sorry for any inconvience. Admin

It's a shame things have come to this.

Yes it is. However, when people steal things, actions have to be taken.

What did I miss? What website have we been lifting from without giving credit? Huh, huh?

Not us, some other sites have been taking and using our material.

Oh, I get it now. I thought you'd quoted something somebody else had written to us. Duh. So, is this the reason we can no longer drag the cursor across text and highlight it? Is that the safeguard you've put in place? Pain in the butt!

Yea, when confronted about the material in question, the person in the end removes it. I mean gosh, there are thousands of pics of Al on the web. We use them, (See our copyright and fair use notice), but we are a non profit. However, when we resize them and use them for our site along with other things in which we have put work into, and then have them lifted off the site for their use, that is not right. ;D
Don't worry, in the upcoming future, the prevention of not being able to copy and past will be removed. Until then, please use the quote feature.

Ok, we have now loosened some of our restrictions. You are now allowed to use the text select option. (Drag cursor text, copy, paste, etc.) Hope this helps!

Yes, it does make life a little easier, Chris. Thanks. Just hope the offender heeds the rules.
