Are mirror sites 'allowed' or a issue that should be looked at?

Following searching various things for this question, I found:

http://askubuntu.greatknow.com/questions/294850/does-canonical-have-other-deals-with-companies-like-the-amazon-search-feature

which seems like a mirror copy of:

Does Canonical have other deals with companies like the Amazon search feature?

Now this makes me thing of (atleast) 2 things:

  • Is this site here to do harm? (e.g. a SE user signs in through it and gets their account nicked)
  • Isn't there copyright infringe stuff that might cause issue
  • Is it affiliated with Ubuntu/StackExchange anyway?

I have in the past found various weird sites that contain shortened versions of StackExchange questions/answers and link to the main post, this is the first that seems to be trying to copy it exactly....

EDIT:

At the bottom it links to http://photoemblem.greatknow.com/ http://pasteubuntu.greatknow.com/

P.S. I know bug is not the greatest of tags to use, sorry
