Copyright is a legal construct, not a technical construct. It doesn't matter where the data is. If a judge decides it's copyright infringement to save webpages, it will be. I can't imagine that the WSJ or any other paywalled institution wouldn't consider saving pages locally to be copyright infringement; how would they enforce a limit on article views?

- grkvlt 12y agoThe same way they do now? I can't save articles if I can't view them.
