Firefox ignores the right click overrides if you hold down shift. I'm not sure about text selection, but there's probably a way to do that as well. I haven't found a bypass on Chrome yet, though.

As for copy, I often find that the less common copy/paste commands (ctrl/shift+insert) still work when control+c/v have been intercepted. Sometimes adding an extra key also works (ctrl+shift+c). I theorize that this is because a lot of the times copy/paste is disabled, the incompetence of the people deciding on and building in the anti feature drips all the way down to the JS implementation.

Sure. It's usually some CSS rule that can be easily turned off. These things are still extremely annoying though. We should not have to fix people's sites.
