---- Google cache raises copyright concerns

At first: I really love the the cache featrue, it has helped me a lot in finding information which has moved to another site and was deleted but was still available in the cache or if the site was temporarily down.

But I also understand digitalhost's opinion. If Google is allowed to cache your website and make this cache available to the public, why should others not be allowed.
The noarchive meta-tag is working the wrong way. There should be an tag like archive="yes" , so every site which has this tag in the head get's cached, all other sites don't get cached. This is a clear permission of the owner, that Gogle is allowed to cache the site.

By the way, what do you think about archive.org? Copyright violation?
