When copying text from webpages they often insert hidden links
For example, I just copied this text:
Of course, it's not the first time Mattrick has had that problem; discussing the Xbox One's lack of compatibility with Xbox 360 games last month, he made a big splash when he said, "If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards."
But when I pasted, I got this text:

CTRL+SHIFT+T is your friend.
In principle I don't mind it--makes things easier to credit to the writers who deserve it, and might remind people who weren't going to to do so.
In practice I always delete it.
Yeah, this sort of thing does make a lot of sense from a business perspective — if people are copying text from a publisher's website to put it on another website, the publisher would want to try and ensure that the copied text is properly sourced.
I try to add a source to things I quote anyway, so this doesn't really change anything. I don't like the "read more at" part, though. I'd rather choose my own wording.
