Add "assumptions that became wrong" to "intended" and the perspective radically changes, to the point that omitting this part from my comment changes everything. I would even add: > the client wanted the server to deliver content it had intended for a different client In most cases, the webmaster intended their work to look good, not really to send different content to different clients. That later part is a technical means, a workaround. The intent of bringing the ok version to the end user was respected… even better with the user agent lies! > The difference is that people don't want companies to profit off of their content. Indeed¹, and also they don't want terrible bot to bring down their servers. 1: well, my open source work explicitly allows people to profit off of it - as long as the license is respected (attribution, copyleft, etc) |
