Nope - the last thing we need are technologically-ignorant lawmakers
deciding how web content is to be handled.

If you put up a web site, then you have the responsibility to learn how
to protect your content, if such is a concern for you.

A collective implies similarities to a non-existing group called the
BORG. The BORG(laws) are becoming just that.  Unclear and thus to put
the blame on the poor slob who creates and runs a web site is pure BS.
All the software vendors are making the programming platforms tools for
script kiddies. Even my bother with a few clicks can create a web page
and post it.  Not knowing a damn thing about caching and all that goes
with that form of publishing.
So should they be penalized for their ignorance? I don't think so.

Now the poor slob who sets up his sever because of slow connection speed
to cache sites that are most visited. (KB837737) We could go on and on.
Bottom line it's all about money and to put clear channel laws into
place on anything and everything really sucks.
Now from the other side, maybe it is a good idea to not allow people to
archive or cache stuff so that the revisionists can rewrite web history
the way they see fit.

What that type of law will do is stymie creative thinking.  RSS which is
becoming a nice pull feature, blogs won't be able to link to other
sites, maybe the <Xframe><!-- tags will disappear (good thing too).
Eventually browsers won't be able to store any cached items unless it's
a government cookie made illegal to delete.

I'm done with this topic for now.  I have to do more reading and
research when time permits.

Let's not get our collective panties in a bunch.
If the web site doesn't want their pages cached by normal proxy action,
they need only add the appropriate cache-control headers.

If you configure your proxy (ISA or otherwise) to ignore those
directives from the server, then you're the problem; not the "law".

I would imagine that the implications for ISA would be that one would
have to delete the cache or turn that off entirely.

If you're in Canada, guess you better disable your ISA firewall's cache
feature before you get in trouble.
