What this does, is effectively neuters all copyright laws on the internet today. It is the wild-wild west again. It legalizes content theft.

I agree Brett. This is a sad day for the internet. Hopefully, sometime very, very soon, a judge with an understanding of how the internet "really" works will see the word "cache" and truly understand all its implications.

Until then, I suppose its every man for himself and look out world! Steal whatever you want from anyone and let the courts sort out the resulting mess. No rules ... no holds barred ... just go for it!

The judge (in my humble opinion) is an educated man who simply doesn't "get" the Internet. Let's hope his first born grandchild will fill him in someday soon!

Until then, we will all have to be ever vigilant of our proprietary rights and ensure that we look after them at all costs.
