Good. I have that one in my indexes.

Probably not much different for you than for the original site,
unless some of the tunes were written by the site's owner. There does
seem to be a lot of mirroring of others' abc tunes. So far I haven't
heard of any problems with it, other than the obvious observation of
the difficulty of getting typos fixed.
In a few cases, I've put up a copy of someone else's tune with added
chords, when they didn't have chords. I also include the URL of the
original in such cases. For a couple of the tunes, I've mentioned
this to the composers, and so far they've never objected. (If they
did, I'd remove the tune, but I get the impression that most people
enjoy seeing their tunes around on the net like this.)
