    Look at the html source in your browser (I think that’s CTRL-U in Firefox) and take the text from there.
    Such JavaScript tricks are nothing but a nuisance. They don’t protect anything and only make people angry.

    @zottel - Oh I just did reader mode in my web browser and I was able to copy it just fine. Which is kind my my point. Anyone that actually intends to do malicious plagiarism won't be stopped by this and it just pisses off people like me that just want to look something up on wikipedia

    There’s so much of that behind embedded music and video now too.

    Yep, stunts like that are BS. They only piss off legitimate users while scrapers already have automated methods to circumvent.

    There are extensions you can load in your chrome and firefox based browsers that block these scripts. The one I'm currently using is "Right to Copy"
