so this is what the cache is: they are displaying our entire site (including all the text and images) and earning money off it.
that goes a bit beyond fair use, surely. people moan about google news taking headlines and snippets and giving next to nothing back, and here they are taking the whole lot.

i've never seen the point of the cache. the only benefit you get out of them having displaying it is when your site goes down. it doesn't send you any extra traffic that you couldn't get anyway through the search engine link.

glad i noarchived it ages ago.
