That's how I see caches, too -- I just wanted to add some melodrama. Your point about caches providing content providers a service by caching them is true, too. It's a two-way street -- on the other hand, the content provider is doing you a favor by providing a service that your users find useful, so they stay online and use your services. There are benefits to both parties, that's why I think it makes sense to co-operate.
