Some authors want to protect their content from being copied.  We
should consider adding a feature that prevents a viewer from easily
copying TT text from presentations.  You can't use the mouse or
keyboard to select and copy RealText presentations, currently, but you
can use the "view source" feature of the RealPlayer to view/select/copy
all or part of the .rt file if the server is set to provide that.

With TT, we may want to enable the author to describe in the TT file
whether or not the user agent should allow selection+copying of the
presented text at any point in the presentation.
