I've not seen this particular trick but it's probably a javascript thing.
Google on a phrase such as "javascript prevent copying" and check out the
responses.
You could convert the text to an image -- that introduces other issues
though. Possibly set up your page as a Flash file?
Whatever route you take, I think it would be worth far more trouble than it
is worth and there would still be workarounds if someone wanted to get your
content.
