Well, yes.
Everything on the web involves copying.
No exceptions. That's how the http protocol works. There's a copy on computer A and computer B sends a request for it and computer A
sends instructions on how to make a copy on computer B. That's a pretty dumbed down version of it, but, like cellular mitosis, sometimes things need to be simplified for the sake of getting on with your life.
Unless you're accessing a computer illegally, anything in your browser's cache should be stuff that the owner of the copyright (unless it's in the public domain) doesn't mind you having.
Forgive me, I'm new here, so I don't know your posting history well enough understand what it is you're going on about. I mean, you sound like someone I might agree with, but whatever it may be is buried under the kind of ravings uttered by hippie homeless men in downtown Santa Cruz.
