Well, first of all: it’s buggy. If you use any of the "add to del.icio.us" or "email this" links, you’ll get errors.
Why do you mirror / copy those pages? You should forward it, not just clone it. I’m not a lawyer, but I guess you could get into serious trouble if you just re-use external content on your own site (domain) like that. Even Google puts external sites in frames (e.g. image-search, or google-cache view), and what’s more: they always have "remove frame" + original URL links right on top.
If I was you, I’d seriously rethink your whole concept.
That was quick.
You’re right, the pages that are rewritten are still buggy, like in my example above.
The normal URL miniaturisation does use a standard redirect.
However if you "Add Rules" (the twist) this will replace words or phrases on the destination page you add. This is what my example does, it replaces the words "beak" and "bird" for "head" and "woman". In order for this (the twist) to happen I cannot use a normal redirect.

I’m not a lawyer, but I believe that the possible transformations will mean that the result qualifies as original "art" and, thus, not a copyright violation.
Sadly, it doesn’t work with microsoft.com. I wanted to replace "microsoft" with "our steaming pile of," and "Vista" with "dog crap."
I did find some amusement viewing www.hp.com with "hp" converted to "International Crapware" and "support" to "let us blow smoke up your ass."
Oh, that is hilarious. You’re right Bob, that was quite amusing. I very much enjoyed the replace function. What a good laugh.
Lol!
This is funny, don’t get sued.
