I disable those events in my code in order to override them and provide enhanced functionality.  Just blocking them is generally a bad idea; it annoys the user.

But the general approach would be to register for the events you want to block, and call event.preventDefault() to suppress the default behaviour.  For ONPASTE, this is trivial.  GWT doesn't expose ONCUT or ONCOPY, so you'll need some JSNI for those.  I posted some sample code here:

 GWT doesn't expose ONCUT or ONCOPY, so you'll need some JSNI for those.

With GWT 2.6 you don't need JSNI anymore to introduce events that GWT does not know about out of the box. Just extend DomEvent (just like ClickEvent, etc) and use addBitlessDomHandler to register the handler of your custom event.
