I was on a web site and I went to highlight a phrase for use in searching through google and I right-clicked and got a prompt saying "Copyrighted - your IP is recorded as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX".
So does this mean I am in trouble or not? Why even bother with that? There wasn't anything of importance there anyway to take from. Just an explanation on how to transfer data from one device to another.
Should I be contacting the author of that site to explain myself? |

Nah, all webstites know your ip address anway (unless your using some sort of tor/vpn like solution)
It's just a script that replaces the context menu and shows your ip
Bit like the scripts that will show the contents of your C drive (the web site can't see the drive though)
They're just being annoying
Not sure about all browsers but firefox has an option to stop that context menu replacement (content->javascript->advanced->disable or replace context menus)

Noscript would do the same thing I think?
It's good knowing your own IP. I'm just not used to it in that form, lol. |
