#2I'm afraid that, at one point in time, a DMCA takedown might backfire at the archive. I mean, it has been taken down on Github, but it's of course available at archive.org - it would hurt the internet as a whole if the archive needs to close it's doors.
Hopefully that will never happen.

Did you not check 'code -> download zip' ?

It depends on whether Github or Winamp can be arsed; given that it's been posted on HN now, they are probably on the trail now.
Archive.org can't just ignore a DMCA takedown, that would threaten their safe haven status.

We should have infrastructure for sharing things like this without putting a centralized entity like archive.org in the crosshairs. Bittorrent comes to mind, but it could only be part of the solution.

#8Wow, I think it's been more than a decade since I even thought about Winamp, let alone used it.
It still seems to be free to download though? What is even the point of keeping the code closed?
