Who in their right mind puts their real whois information online? On my urls, all that's real is the email address. I applaud Vladimir Nesterenko for making money like this.
Edit: as a commenter below pointed out, just because a person with a name lives at an address, they may not run a website that they're listed as running. After all you probably live at an address, and if I was a fraudster I could list you.
Misleading title. As the article points out, the Alexa ranking puts it outside the top 200k most visited sites.
You do realize that if it's in top 10 million, out of estimated ~640 million websites, it's right at the top? It's not misleading at all, it's quite down to the point, just like the article itself.

If you can reach that files just scraping it means they are somehow open to public access.
No joke, i am genuinely asking.
Sorry if i don't understand this totally, but why is scraping for pdf and ppt/pptx files and mirroring them illegal? If you can reach that files just scraping it means they are somehow open to public access. No joke, i am genuinely asking.
edit: Rehosting is not allowed as far as I know in Dutch law if you are attempting to make profit of it by not requesting it from the original owner. Rehosting it and not taking advantage and linking to the original article is allowed as far as I know. But maybe ask your lawyer for info if you really want to know.
Is this some kind of political prep piece for passing legislation in Europe against google, internet archive, and other search engines indexing public content?
