There are ways to capture content the user pastes; they're effectively giving you permission to see that content. But you can't just view the clipboard whenever you feel like it. You'd be able to steal passwords and bank account details and other private information.

$('html').on('paste', function(e){ // will trigger on paste in your page
    var clipBoard  = e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('text');             
});
