while I love the idea of a mirror module for snapzu, one could easily run afoul of copyrights for "unauthorized use of copyrighted material" and get into a bunch of hot water over nothing.
I more-so meant using current mirror websites and just adding it as a linked module. Snapzu having it's own would definitely be cool and more convenient, but I agree the legal difficulties and also just the time and effort to take to develop the module would probably make it not worth it in the Snapzu staff's eyes.
Sorry, looks like I misread your original response. There is coralcdn, but I can't seem to get it to work on my end. I wonder if there's any other third party cache sites out there we might be able to hijack for the cause...
I really liked the throwaway I used as a linked module in the original post. Just copied the text, pasted it, and uploaded it to a throw away URL that will go down in a month or so. It could be a solution but it's important that we educate people that sometimes an aggregator may not be aware of a paywall and a short conversation could get such a module added in a timely manner. Here is a link to the alternate I used.

old comment & probably useless reply, but archive.is works.

Agreed, this could be seen as a risky solution to an issue that could be resolved other ways.
