Thank you, you are correct.

Let me try again:

 But you are wrong, there is not necessarily any such thing as a byte-
 copy of a given information resource (in the AWWW sense).  Obviously 
 a clear definition of what an IR is has been hard to come by, but it 
 is not necessarily something of which one can take a byte-copy.

Would you agree with the above?
