Why restrict what a visitor can copy from your website? By reducing the site's utility they are less likely to revisit.

taye, I apologize if this isn't a constructive comment but this feature has annoyed me from time to time. Forbes.com just implemented it.

No apology necessary.

As I mentioned in another comment, I use NoScript to disable javascript so I wouldn't even notice that kind of thing. I agree that that is unnecessary and sort of abusive to users. I only intended on using this within web apps like a document editor etc.
