District court rules Google Cache doesn't violate copyright
EFF's Fred von Lohmann
is reporting on a decision by a Nevada district court ruling that Google Cache, which makes available copies of web
pages that might no longer be available from their original provider, does not violate content owners' copyrights. Attorney and
writer Blake Field had sued Google for caching writings on his web site, but the court ruled that Google Cache did not
violate Field's copyright because its serving a cached copy was the result of "automated, non-volitional activity
by Google servers," it obeys robots.txt and meta tags, and is fair use.[Via Boing Boing]

What I find most interesting is that I can pull up cached copies of password-protected articles at one particular news site just by hitting the "cancel" button two or three times when the username / password dialog box comes up. I'm sure that wasn't in the plan.
