Can you not just tell us, since doing that doesn't seem to work

WTF?

This site was set up after reading this. I thought it would be more fair to the statistics if only people who actually liked the daily mail appeared as a "hit" on the site. We are a proxy service enabling users to view that particular site without necessarily visiting it. Pages are cached here for a few days so many hits on a particular story will only count as one initial hit on that website (until the page is re-cached). Hits to the homepage however, are updated every few hours to keep it reasonably current. This system has the added advantage of providing anonymity from their invasive tracking and the advertisements from companies that should know better (we strip the ads, referer information and the javascript by default).
Wha?

This process is entirely legal - we are just a proxy and we do not permanently store any copyright protected content on our servers so keep your knickerbockers on (in fact we don't even let our proxied pages appear in search engine results). We urge you to share the shortened links provided by istyosty.com if you would like to link to the mail to point out how ignorant they are. As well as denying them hits, you'll be damaging their search engine ranking as you won't be linking directly to them.' ;)

I can't see where that says what istyosty actually stands for though?

But what does "istyosty" mean? I can never remember that, if it was something like "The daily mail without adverts" to "tdmawa", then I could remember it.
I think it's still theft, they're stealing DM's advertising revinue while still displaying their content. It's like when you record something off the telly onto a VHS and then make copies to hand it around to mates, even skipping the adverts, it doesn't matter that they only keep it for a few days.

Yeh', I suppose I could remember it capitalised like that with the space as there is one one char diff between each 'word'.
