I was especially impressed with the mosaic works. The artist also has a number of other Lego works to check out while you're at it.

    This story itself isn't even "News for Nerds"

    Clearly you are not a nerd.

    so then how does google get away with it? they have cached versions of pages. and what about http://web.archive.org/ ? It seems like slashdot could easily do something similar.

    Google cache is a good example. Has anyone sued Google? The Scientologists?

    Still, I think that /. would want to run ads or have subscriptions pay for each page view. I certainly think that it is one thing for someone to simple cache a page. It is another to cache it and show your own ads.

    I don't think that Taco & Co. are worried enough about this problem to do anything about it. If they were they would have done something long ago. The copyright problem seems like an excuse. It would be a simple thing for them to contact small site owners and ask for permission to take a snapshot of a portion of a site and leave it up for a few days. They could even show the sites own ads in addtion to any ads that non /. subscribers see. Heck, if /. actually made $$ they could pay small sites a bit for the right to cache their content for a while.

    Interestingly at least two stories today were from small sites that got hammered within seconds of hitting the front page. In fact, all the Lego (tm) stories that I can remember recently got /.ed so fast that I had to wait until a day or two later to view them.

    I don't seem how anyone is harmed by temporary caching if done with some thought, do you?
