    Quoted from Friengineer:

    This copyright protects certain elements within the site so you wouldn't want to setup a mirror site. However alot of that copyright page is absolute BS. I would guess 10-15% falls under copyright protection, most of that being photos which can be retaken verbatim by someone else and fall out of protection.

    The entire site has copyright protection for all original content, regardless of a copyright page. However, the lack of copyright enforcement with the storage of the site in publicly available archival websites and omission of a robots.txt file noting a block for search engines and archival systems could potentially be viewed as abandonment or intent to abandon copyright. I'm not a lawyer though, so I wouldn't suggest anyone push boundaries without actual legal advice.

    Quoted from tacshose:

    I’m seeing that pinwiki is hosted on hostgator? We had one of our SaaS product servers at Linode get hacked, we simply restored the whole “server” from the backup and moved on. Downtime was a few hours. I’m guessing pinwiki is not on a VPS offering that possibility.
    Let’s hope robin might be interested...

    That's assuming there is a known point prior to infection/hacking...

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    Completely irrelevant. The site has malware on it SOMEWHERE. Could be it only redirects visitors every 74th time, name starts with T, wears size 8W shoe, or any other criteria.
    Until it’s fixed you’re risking infection every time you visit. No one knows yet if the redirects are harmful or who is vulnerable.

    Or only for certain browsers or responsive layout sizes/breakpoints.
