Surely the reason the browser cache argument fell down is it is a temporary cache to improve performance. How is a server side cache any different?



Browser cache is like keeping the shopping in your trolley as you go around the supermarket. "Server-side cache" is stealing the stuff from the Supermarket to sell in your own shop. If you decide to retain something from your browser cache, without acquiring a license, then you just shoplifted it.

[Before anyone says it I'm absolutely not equating copyright infringement and theft].
