    Is it possible to copy/scrape an entire closed site via Google cache? (closed due ©)

    One site has recently been closed down as it contained lyrics in two languages. Lyrics site are told to be legal, this was a hobby site which was the only site containing lyrics in English, Spanish, Italian and in my language (translated).

    I am looking to blow new life in the site. Do I have a chance copying content via Google cache? I have mailed the former owner, but have had no response, it's been a week.

    There are 40.000 lyrics involved. Google has a limit of 1000 results per search.

    You can manually get any information that is there but there is no automated way to do this, unless someone makes a script for it. You should also check http://archive.org/ since they often have cached versions of most sites.

    ServerManagement: Wow. Archive.org has logged a lot of pages on that website.

    Is there a big chance archive.org has logged all 40.000 articles of that site?

    I really doubt they are going to have all of the content in a single copy, though anything is possible.
