The Restaurant Industry’s Worst Idea: QR Code Menus

I genuinely think that there is no legitimate use case for disabled copy paste. It's just nonsense security theatre (which banks absolutely love)

There could be a modicum of use for it in some rare, rare cases, but the value provided in those cases is far outweighed by the value lost when it is prohibited.

You cannot prevent copy and paste. Particularly with things like reliable OCR in the photo app, like all iPhones have had for 2 or 3 years.

https://play.typeracer.com/ Here's your legitimate use case. Very fun, and also impossible without disabling copy-paste.

They listen to keyboard input, it's not a text box.

The site doesn't loads for me, but there is no need to disable copy/paste for such things.

Just track the paste operation and place a big red CHEATER banner on the username.

Also what can be disabled with javascript - can be enabled with javascript.
