I get it they want to make more money and all. But seriously, monetizing copy/paste? Programmers are the wrong bunch to be playing this game with. Using modern tools, entering short snippets is fast anyway. Not to mention, pressing F12 and inspecting the HTML container isn't difficult. You can even use free OCR software to convert a screen shot back to parsable text. All stackoverflow is doing is annoying developers.

How much for copy/paste do they want? Or it's probably a monthly subscription. And even if the amount isn't high, they want to force me to sign in each time I visit?

No thanks.

Shit Overflow has been shit for a long time. I'm closing your post as "Already answered in another question."

Chinese websites are also fans of trying to disable the clipboard.

Of course, if clumsy javascript can tell you it's blocking copy paste, more interesting javascript can silently track every time you copy and paste something ....

This is going to cause some real problems in the H-1B program

This would make the software world implode.
