Not that I disagree but isn't there a security risk with code that can be cut and pasted?

Yes if the blog author is malicious and the copy-paster inattentive. Don't even need an inattentive user if it's a command pasted in a terminal that will interpret the newline as <enter>.

No. Not to the poster. And not any different to the recipient than code that can be retyped, downloaded, or reproduced by any other mechanism besides copy and paste.
