IANAL, but..

So do routers, switches, etc - the data is buffered and kept in  
memory for shorter or longer time on nearly every piece of internet  
infrastructure.
Squids just speed up data delivery from data store somewhere else.  
The major issue in such case would be do we work on squid storages as  
standalone media systems (thats like, if you start filtering content  
- you're the one who is responsible for it in the end).
Squids are 'data transfer' infrastructure, not 'data storage'  
infrastructure, and operating a squid is same as operating a browser  
(which also does caching), or operating network backbone.
