there are two issues that people often overlook when it comes to copywrited material:

1. The copywrite gives the owner control over the material. If someone else copies it (to another website) then there is nothing stopping them from altering the contents, intentionally or accidentally. With things like the game rules, even a simple mistake, like dropping one word from the text can make a huge difference. ( you are allowed to use motors... vs you are not allowed to use motors...)

2. The copywrite gives the owner the ability to make changes, corrections and revisions when they need to. There is no way FIRST can notify all the teams who have mirror sites that a revision has been made, if they dont know where those mirror sites are?
