This is so true. Worst of all a company named Tynt has a patent pending for ctrl+c injection:

I think it's possible only in IE, or using Flash.

They don't touch your actual clipboard, they modify your selection instead, so it works cross-browser. Tynt is the company selling this shit.

Wow, that's just... not very nice. Maybe browsers should block this, and some other stuff on the list.
