[LINK] protecting online content - AFR technique

Dear all

Someone pointed out to me that the AFR ( http://www.afr.com/ ) has implemented some CSS magic to provide an extra level of frustration to online content copiers: highlighted story text only grabs every other letter and so impedes the good old copy/paste.

The story text is effectively doubled, but there is even a little more, since each of the two versions needs interleaved   between the alternate characters to be inserted to implement the magic.

Cute.
