Pretty much everything in this spec can be abused to cause nuisance.
Personally, I'm less than thrilled to see an API giving sites more
ability to mangle what I copy.
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.
