When I try to copy and paste a command from net I faced this warning in freya.

The command is adding a PPA. First I thought, the warning is with that particular web page. But the exact message is when I try to copy command and try to paste in terminal, I am getting warning message.

That means the command has sudo in it, when a command that requires root access is copy pasted, elementary os shows that warning(not an error) so if you are sure you know what the command does, hit paste anyway.

    You can disable this warning message in dconf editor or with the following command: gsettings set org.pantheon.terminal.settings unsafe-paste-alert "false". But this is not recommended!
