Why would it get shut down? Companies like Google and Cloudflare do the same thing with AMP based re-hosting of websites without consent. Some site signs up for AMP for it's domain, then any links from that site to other 3rd party sites get sucked up by Google/Cloudflare and re-hosted as an AMP site on their servers without the 3rd party site getting hits from the actual people clicking links.
Re-hosting is not a crime. I mirror sites locally and put them up on a domain subdirectory all the time. I've done it since before the web was commercial.

- luckylion 4y ago> Re-hosting is not a crime Depends on the jurisdiction, but copyright-infringement usually is a crime.

Operating as a dumb part of network infrastructure is why they're legal, much in the way that your network switch doesn't commit copyright infringement when it forwards packets down the correct port. It is also worth noting that not everyone agrees that AMP is legal. It has been the subject of lawsuits. If there's a human picking content, and that content doesn't match upstream, that may be well enough to step outside of safe harbor provisions.
