With greater powers comes, as they say, greater responsibility. If you personally don't like the possibilities for nuisance this API enables, you have multiple options - use a browser that doesn't support these events, or a browser that lets you disable them (perhaps on a per-site basis), or a browser that supports extensions that let you disable them. I also think that a site that behaves in user-unfriendly ways will end up loosing users. If a site is arrogant enough to mess with what I copy unless to improve it, it deserves to loose users. -- Hallvord R. M.
