Copy and paste are application-level interfaces; the operating system holds the data, but has always given it up on demand. I've actually seen some applications that use the clipboard as an IPC mechanism (most recently, a Python application, I don't recall what for, was wiping URLs from my clipboard to see if it was already running)

I may be wrong but I thought that even websites cannot access clipboard content except in write mode. Even, I remember that long ago, a Flash script was commonly used to be able to copy stuff into it.
