Agreed, we should not dictate whether the user can copy-paste data or not. The duplicate field makes it clear that it is important to get the email address right. If a user decides to bypass the check, so be it. I wonder whether, instead of (in addition to?) this patch, we should add a notice that getting the email address right is very important and that you will be locked out without any chance to recover if you make a typo.
