What do?

Has anyone asked the owner whether he objects to the site being hosted elsewhere? There is a difference between "not interested, but thank you for the offer" and "I specifically don't want that." I suspect it's the latter but from what I've heard here so far that's not entirely clear.

Assuming he doesn't mind, one could clone the site by simply loading all the pages in a browser one by one, and saving them as "web page, complete," so you get all the images and css and whatnot, and then finally running some scripts to fix all the links so it all works together once more.

That would be tedious, but could be done in a matter of hours. But you'd still be left with a bunch of illegal content. As much as I would enjoy having a complete snapshot of greendyk.nl, I wouldn't risk hosting it on my own site.
