Do you see no distinction between
* downloading and transforming a document for one's own consumption (as with e.g. ad blockers)
and
* rehosting it with no permission from the writer?
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoNot sure what you mean by "rehosting". Just looks like client software to me. The absence of 401s and 403s indicates tacit permission to me.
- kixiQu 3y agoThe images aren't rehosted, but the text is. Arguably even more parasitic given the relative costs involved. (Navigate to e.g. https://readable_techcrunch.mvlab.workers.dev/article/2539569 https://readable_techcrunch.mvlab.workers.dev/article/253956... and open the dev tools)
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoNot sure what you mean by "rehosted". It seems to be a primitive perspective, as if I had transported some 7th century scribe through time to the present day. That man, were he here, could not help but imagine that words had been copied from one codex to another, as if by quill pen. No? All I see is a different client.
