A different approach ...

Instead of trying to block PR from flowing to copyright pages, privacy pages, and so on, ponder how you could harness the PR flowing FROM such pages.

Those pages can be a useful place to add links that are different from your site's normal navigation system, as a way to funnel some extra link juice to strategic internal pages.

If you had some internal pages that were starting to pull traffic for long-tail searches you didn't expect, they'd be ideal for such treatment.
