Darn, this is minefield. As for the case of Mr. Keene vs. the persons that copied the content "by hand" to a different server is concerned, I have no problems with his stance.
I am not so certain for broader (technological) implications on Internet, as we know it. If we follow the right of the owner of the content to control each and every copy of his work posted on the Internet, this renders proxy servers ILLEGAL, never mind "archive.org" or Google caches... THAT's scary.
