What he's saying is: If it would be so easy to replicate, then go do it, and convince people to go to your "meamo.org", where you can be king of your own castle. But you can't. Because as much as you can scrape every page off a web site, there's a difference between having a static copy of something, and having an active system serving it. If it were as simple as having a snapshot of it, why would we need this site at all? Google has a copy, we can scrap it now, right? And no, there are plenty of parts that the general public does NOT have copies off. The database that is the heart of the system, for example. It's "all FOSS", right? Or at least CC. But we protect that, and don't allow even read access to 99% of it. Why is that? Because it has value. And value is the only attribute companies see.
