Some sites do not allow it, they strictly reserve their copyrights. Some others do, especially if you read the contents of its pages to the end. The author kind of rewards you by giving you permission to mirror the page so long as you do not modify its content in any form.
An example is here < http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/brown/ > by Prof. Andy Tanenbaum. Richard Stallman does the same too so long as you maintain the same copyright (copyleft?) notice < http://stallman.org/ >
