I could. I wonder if it's only Internet Explorer that can't cut & paste; Firefox had no trouble grabbing text.

In the case of this website, I would argue that the person who submits the query is actually the owner of the result. Unless the website creates result sets on its' own and we simply read those results, I don't see how Wolfram can have any claim to the result set - without the unique input of the submitor their would have been no output.

There's something to be said for that--machines can't create copyrighted content; people create content with the assistance of machines. And there's at least an obvious claim for the combination of Wolfram Alpha and the input user creating the copyrighted result; both parts were necessary, and therefore both entities should share copyrights.
