It would appear that the domain "notCRCworld.com" is
available. The people involved should grab it and
begin to recreate mathworld and put the information
clearly in the public domain.

Alternatively since there appear to be only 148 countries
that have signed the Berne Convention Treaty and 189
"countries" belonging to the UN, there *should* be locations
where you could legally mirror the site. Laos, Palestine
and Afghanistan appear as possibilities (quickly scanning).
N.b. there are other treaties that may need to be checked as well.

If you do it right, the CRC lawyers can go stew in their own soup.
