Adrian, Have been reading an article in Computing, 'EU law stops deep linking to web sites - Copyright law saves recruitment site stepstone' The pertinent point about that article, with regard to this debate, was that it identified that all websites are classed as databases under the EU copyright and database regulations. This will provide for an ability to continue control of the data if the site is mirrored, in support of any necessary DPA data processor type agreement.
