Content Protection (Anti-Copying)

What this solution does

Content Protection is a module for 1C-Bitrix that complicates copying text and images on the public part of a website using browser capabilities. Client-side JavaScript is loaded only where protection is actually required, and behavior is managed flexibly through a set of rules.

Key features include restricting text selection and copying, disabling the context menu, blocking specific hotkeys, and protecting images from dragging and long tap gestures on mobile devices. Clipboard content can be replaced with added copyright notices or source links. The system supports flexible exclusions for administrators, bots, specific user groups, domains, and paths.

Protection rules are independent parameter sets applied to specific pages or sections. Each rule includes a name and sort order, an active status flag, and a choice to protect all content or only selected CSS selectors. Rules also define inclusion and exclusion path lists, context menu blocking, text selection prohibition, copy handling modes (block, allow, or append service text), blocking of specific keys and combinations, and image protection.

The module blocks content copying and prevents text selection during long taps on mobile devices.

Protection is skipped in the following cases:

- The user has administrator privileges;

- The request originates from a search engine bot;

- The user belongs to an excluded group;

- The page path is included in global exceptions;

- The page belongs to the site's service or administrative sections.

This approach ensures proper search engine indexing, uninterrupted editor workflows, and access to technical areas.

Module settings are available in the following sections:

- Services → Content Protection;

- Settings → Product Settings → Module Settings → Content Protection.
