When I copy a section of test from this website
my clipboard gets extra text appended to the end of it saying “Read more: ” then the url of the page I was reading (plus a unique looking string on the end)
How have they done this?

I’ve made some reverse engineering and it looks like this script is responsible for clipboard manipulation:

See the introduction movie on this website:

Technically I don’t know how is it done, looks like they don’t use Flash but make use of getSelection() function and copy, contextmenu events.
