Well the moment you allow access because you think the app has good intentions it can misuse it later.

Maybe the popup should not show when the user presses 'paste'. But I believe awareness is the first step.

I meant the only time an app should be able to get anything out of the clipboard is when the user specifically uses the OS feature to paste the content. I don't think apps should ever be allowed to access the clipboard on their own.
