A mirror is a site which hosts a copy of data on another site. There are currently appear to be over a thousand sites mirroring both the Wikileaks main site and its diplomatic cables site. The legal risks of mirroring the Wikileaks content may at first glance track the risks of hosting the original content, particularly if the mirroring is done with the intention of preserving the specific contents of the mirrored site. For that matter, participating in a DDOS attack runs afoul of the law in multiple jurisdictions.
