I think the honest answer is that it is a question with no clear answer.
I know that legal concerns have prevented US government funded projects
such as TREC (http://trec.nist.gov) from building Web collections and they
have got other organisations to build and distribute such collections. I
also know that Web search engines have been ordered to take off image and
sound collections from their Web sites, but I don't think this has happened
with HTML. Maybe text is viewed as being generally less valuable than other
media types.
