The web is not print. The publisher does not have control over layout, presentation, format, form factor, time-shifting, place-shifting, or anything else other than raw content. If you're not okay with that, stick to paper magazines and newspapers.

Would this rendering include copying some or all of a site and reposting to another site, inserting the previous site's ads for your own? This is happening continuously of course, but is it right?
I take it you are in favor of abolishing copyright? A very small percentage of the population I believe, although I have yet to take a "scientific" poll on the subject.
Congrats Calibre!
