Automatically Append Copyright on Copied Content

Anyone can select text on a public web page and paste it somewhere else, usually with no credit. This plugin addresses that by attaching a copyright notice to whatever gets copied. The pasted text includes your message and a link to the original page, so readers elsewhere can trace it back to you.

You can also add links to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram profiles, or any custom link, plus extra text such as a legal disclaimer. The plugin cannot completely stop content theft, but it makes attribution part of every copy. It uses HTML, CSS and JS, and its settings need no coding knowledge. Bloggers, writers and site owners who publish original text will find it a simple fit.

Features

• Automatic copyright notice: A customizable copyright message is appended to text whenever a visitor copies it from your pages, so your ownership is stated wherever the content ends up.
• Backlink to the original page: Each copied snippet includes a link back to the page it came from, giving anyone who sees the pasted text a direct path to your source.
• Social media links: Add links to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram profiles, or any custom social link, so copied text points people to your accounts.
• Additional custom text: Include a personalized message or a legal disclaimer next to the copyright notice to make your ownership terms clearer.
• Custom call to action: Place your own call to action alongside the notice, such as a prompt to visit your site, so the copied text carries your message.
• Responsive and Retina ready: The plugin is built to work across devices and high-resolution displays, so it behaves consistently for visitors on phones, tablets and desktops.
• Lightweight code base: It is built with HTML, CSS and JS, which keeps the plugin small and limits its footprint on your site.
• Simple configuration: A user-friendly settings interface lets you set up the notice and links quickly, with no coding required.
