Use website to select text?

Question

I paid for a language learning site, only to find that I couldn’t even select text throughout the site.

They have an “upgrade” account that will allow you to download text in the lesson, and I think the ability to select text is what they are trying to monetize. This is pretty messy, especially for paying customers.

I do not think that I am in a moral gray area, trying to select a text.

So can someone help me figure out how? I tried a bunch of things, but so far nothing has worked.

Update:

They seem to use mostly this, and I'm trying to figure out how to undo it:

$('bunch-of-things').
 .attr('unselectable', 'on')
 .css('user-select', 'none')
 .on('selectstart', false);
};

Answer 1

Ok, got it. This seems like a trick:

$('[unselectable=on]').css('user-select', 'inherit').off('selectstart')

...
