Properly designed caching schemes will cache only static content and not dynamic content. This should make it easy for competent administrators to save some of their own bandwidth and leave their revenue streams undisrupted. In any event, it's a non-issue thanks to WIPO and legislation like: `(b) SYSTEM CACHING- `(1) LIMITATION ON LIABILITY- A service provider shall not be liable for monetary relief, or, except as provided in subsection (j), for injunctive or other equitable relief, for infringement of copyright by reason of the intermediate and temporary storage of material on a system or network controlled or operated by or for the service provider in a case in which-- `(A) the material is made available online by a person other than the service provider, `(B) the material is transmitted from the person described in subparagraph (A) through the system or network to a person other than the person described in subparagraph (A) at the direction of that other person, and `(C) the storage is carried out through an automatic technical process for the purpose of making the material available to users of the system or network who, after the material is transmitted as described in subparagraph (B), request access to the material from the person described in subparagraph (A), if the conditions set forth in paragraph (2) are met.
