this saddens me. internet archive is a savior.

It’s gross that the archive is being sued for copyright infringement, yet artist, writers and actors are shrugged off by stealing of their copyrighted content by companies, such as AI and print-on-demand accounts.

If internet archive shuts down, lost of information and history would be lost forever and then it will cause manipulation the history which is bad!

Stop wasting resources on ephemera. Concentrate on the books and making a backup that the incoming rabble cannot find. The incipient horror show will not last forever.

Most of that is mere ephemera. The real treasures are the books. A better reflection of our times. If ditching the way back machine websites would get the vultures off our backs and save the books we should do it.

Starting to think the one thing we should not archive is all the AI bullshit that's been digitally shat out in the last 3 years or so. That said i don't hold nearly as much hope as i want to that the legal system won't be on the wrong side of history here.

Omg. Please tell me they didn’t archive Two Girls One Cup…

nothing good every comes from wiping out history. This is very concerning. Surely an arrangement can be made in terms of copyright. And some of the things on there are so very old copyright is also arbitrary, for the most part. The Internet Archive and Wayback machine is such an important resource

if the Internet Archive ever shuts down, please backup all the data on hard drives. there will be ways to provide widespread access in the future. though I don't want you guys to shut down either way, just promise you're gonna save & hide that data no matter what. 😮‍💨
