Anyway, the reason live mirrors are prohibited is not

reasons. I believe it's because if a site does nothing but stick up
some ads and add no value, Wikimedia is going to demand a cut of the
profit for using its trademarks and so on. Some sites pay Wikimedia
for live mirroring. So the others, in principle, get blocked.
Right, but a live mirror is a very different thing than a search box link.
