I've never worked a case in this area and am no expert, but I recently watched one of the news magazines the networks do and they said that federal law is that you have to save it or download it, but viewing is okay. They seemed to say it is a first amendment issue though I'm not clear on how that is so. I'm not sure whether it being in the cache counts either. Can you view something without it become part of the cache?
