I copy the whole text of web pages I visit. It's not automatically breach of copyright.

That said, meaningful fulltext search will need data. But both Bing and Google crawl pages.

It's not even immediately clear that displaying a copy of a page is materially different from caching (which http do in many, many layers).

Now, if présent the text as your own - that might be a problem.
