I think you're sort of comparing chalk with cheese there. I see what you're saying to a point but we're talking about a bit of text on a web page that's in the public domain, not money or copyrighted media. Last time I checked, it's legal to make a copy for personal use anyway isn't it? If I bought a DVD and wanted to convert it for playback on my iPad I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go to jail for it.
