I didn't listen much in high school English; is linking to a Google cache of this blog post ironic?


Only if it was a blog post lobbying in favor of the law.


No. When a site is down, it is customary on Hacker News for someone to go to Google and get the last cached (saved) version of the web-page from them to post it those that can't access it to read, as a sort of convenience. It's also common for the plaintext of the article to be posted here.


I meant that it seems like precisely the sort of thing that would be outlawed by the proposed legislation.
