Can one Web site hijack anothers content?
There are many variants of this question, and the answer to them all is yes. If a site publishes public (not password-protected) pages on the Web, there is nothing to stop anyone who wants to from copying the entire site and setting up a server that uses the pirated content. It is surprisingly easy to do this; there are many Perl “spiders” that will copy an entire site with a single command, and even Internet Explorer has a simple built-in spider. Sometimes this activity is legitimate, such as when someone sets up a mirror site of a public document (for example, the the WWW Security FAQ is mirrored in this way), but sometimes it is out-and-out piracy. The implication of this is that you should be a little careful about trusting what you see on the screen. Popular sites often are surrounded by non-affiliated sites with similar names that exploit peoples’ tendency to make typographical errors when entering URLs. For example, try http://www.nescape.com or http://www.mcrosoft.com/. Always
