Oddly, I cannot use Mac OS X Safari to copy the linked article's text to the clipboard. I intended to quote a bit in an HN comment but no, it was not to be. That's done was some javascript, the easiest approach is simply to disable JS. That doesn't work as sometimes a script is used to fetch the text with ajax or so. If someone is taking great pains to prevent the GUI Clipboard from working in any way, then no doubt their own text was lifted from someone who took no such pains. :-/
