Indeed, I didn't even go into that. You could even use a program like wget to download the page straight to a file. I would just not worry about the user cutting and pasting. (S)he has the text in front of him/her anyway, and could re-type it if necessary. Preventing cut and paste will therefore not buy you anything but user frustration.
