Summary
Even if copyright is strictly observed, a student might still want to obtain copies of images or text for their own use. Images are often presented as thumbnails that are hyperlinked to full size figures. By judicious use of the right hand mouse buttons and the browser drop-down menus, it is possible to obtain copies of these materials. Images, text, and pages can be copied. Having purchased the appropriate software, it is even possible to download a whole website plus all the linked pages on other websites.
