Copy Paster Observer

Capping can help you find out how your users are using copy/paste. If you want to prevent subscribers from sharing their account, you'll probably want to prevent your subscribers from copying your content and sharing it with their friend. Wouldn't you?

Copy Paste Observer will analyze the use of the "copy" feature, and will be able to modify the copied content.

Copy Paster Observer without any change in the copied content, just monitoring

User journeys

• USER 1 reads a paid article
• USER 1 copies the content to send it to a friend

JavaScript integration

You previously learned how to use Capping to detect and block simultaneous readings, or simultaneous devices. Now, you can add to your Capping integration dedicated configuration for Copy/Paste tracking.

<script>
  var siriusCapping = window.siriusCapping || {};
  siriusCapping.config = {
    brand: "<BRAND_UUID>", //mandatory
    userId: "<THE_USER_ID>", //mandatory
    mode: "device|reading", // copy paste observer works with these two modes

    copyPasteObserver: {
      enable: true,
      characterLimit: 140, // Number of characters copied from which you want to track
    },
  };
</script>
<script async src="https://capping.sirius.press/sdk.v1.1.0.js"></script>

Copy Paster Observer with changes on the copied content

User journeys

• USER 1 reads a paid article
• USER 1 copies the content to send it to a friend
• USER 1 pastes the copied content into an email, but sees that the content has been modified.

JavaScript integration

Use modifications array to change copied content.

<script>
  var siriusCapping = window.siriusCapping || {};
  siriusCapping.config = {
    brand: "<BRAND_UUID>", //mandatory
    userId: "<THE_USER_ID>", //mandatory
    mode: "device|reading", // copy paste observer works with these two modes

    copyPasteObserver: {
      enable: true,
      characterLimit: 140, // Number of characters copied from which you want to track
      modifications: [
        {
          type: "prepend|append|replace",
          text: "<br>This is a message that will be added before/after the copied content or will replace it (depending on the modification type)<br><br>",
        },
      ],
    },
  };
</script>
<script async src="https://capping.sirius.press/sdk.v1.1.0.js"></script>

Complex copied content replacement with counter feature

The modifications array allows you to change the type of replacement depending on the number of copy occurrences.

<script>
  var siriusCapping = window.siriusCapping || {};
  siriusCapping.config = {
    brand: "<BRAND_UUID>", //mandatory
    userId: "<THE_USER_ID>", //mandatory
    mode: "device|reading", // copy paste observer works with these two modes

    copyPasteObserver: {
      enable: true,
      characterLimit: 140, // Number of characters copied from which you want to track
      modifications: [
        {
          type: "prepend",
          text: "<br>This is a message that will be added before the copied content<br><br>",
        },
        {
          type: "replace",
          text: "This message will replace the copied content after 5 copies.",
          count: {
            min: 5,
            max: 10,
          }
        }
        {
          type: "replace",
          text: "This message will replace the copied content after 10 copies, and will stop counting.",
          count: {
            min: 11,
            stopCounting: true
          }
        }
      ],
    },
  };
