- geokon 6y agohmm, indexing and linking seem intrinsically different from hosting a direct copy of a website. You request a webpage, the server gives it to you. It seems reasonable that you can then look at it, inspect it, quote it etc. (like a newspaper or a book at the bookstore). But re-hosting the content whole-sale seems quite different? Or maybe I'm not seeing some subtly as to why they're equivalent
