I thought this was just me
I cant copy either. I just did a quick test, seems its browser related. Internet Explorer wont let me select the text to copy, but firefox will.
PS - If you dont want to switch browser, just hit 'quote' copy the text from there and then delete all the text.

JC,
I also only use Firefox. I have IE 9 installed and Pandora doesn't even work with it, the page page loads but no music .....
