Where does begging come into it? As long as the user
is provided with information which allows them to
easily obtain the source, there shouldn't be a
problem.

What does "from the same source" mean, anyway? On
the same hard disk? On a disk connected to the same
computer? On a server in the same room? Same building?
Owned by the same person/company?

If there's a link on the same web page that works
when the user clicks on it, I don't think they're
even going to notice the difference.
