Bug Description
In Software Centre, Edit > Copy Web Link copies a link to apt.ubuntu.com; visiting that link directly starts installing the package. Perhaps it could link to the page on apps.ubuntu.com for the package, so that I can give the link to other people and then those other people can see what the app is, read reviews of it, and decide whether they want to install it?
(I've also noticed, without being able to replicate reliably, that Copy Web Link is sometimes insensitive when viewing an application in USC; if I can reliably replicate this I'll file a different bug, but perhaps it's related?)
