    One clarification -- according to DMCA, a link directory may cache copies of content to allow for a smooth user experience, as long as they follow best practices for respecting hit counters on the originating site, and they remove the content from cache if the originating site takes it down or the content expires.

    Not sure if PP was respecting these best practices (probably not) but it's not a given that PP's caching/streaming files from their servers isn't protected under DMCA safe harbor.
