You already offer it to me on my screen.
If you render to a canvas rather than generate plain text, then I have to use screen readers with built-in OCR to perform "copy," which is a pain. It doesn't protect you, but it makes my experience worse.
What we're learning from music and movies is that any movement to try to restrict users just leads to user flight; any movement that opens up and enables users to have a great experience with your IP, leads to user delight.
