Nice one.
Agreed, that's a great anti- copy theft idea! Off to code one up myself . . .

Select any text. A key listener has been added to the window that
listens for the mouseup event, and appends a range to the
window selection. Note, the text area below makes it easier to test. Also,
because the listener is only listening for the mouseup event, it won't work
if the user selects text using another method (like with their browser's
"select all" method).

// This will work for Firefox
userSelection = window.getSelection();
// Append a range
range = document.createRange();
range.setStart(startNode, 0);
range.setEnd(startNode, endOffset);
userSelection.addRange(range);
}
else if (document.selection) {
// For IE, though not sure how to modify the selected text
userSelection = document.selection.createRange();
