Re: The Ethics of Mirrors

[Vykor <vykor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If we are simply restoring the site, I don't see it as significantly
different from accessing archived copies from the Wayback Machine.
Obviously it'd be best to have explicit permission, but Archive.org, Google
Cache, and many other similar services seems to operate by assuming archival
permission unless explicitly denied by a robots.txt file, a request from the
site administrator, etc.  Given their continued existence, I don't feel this
is a serious problem.

Modifying site files at a non-trivial level, changing site content, and
other such actions...those are something else entirely.
