The next natural thing to happen would be privatization or consolidation of the internet itself. Its already happening in the form of grabbing and consolidating IPv4 addresses.
Perhaps I imagined this, however some months ago on X someone pointed out a historical article on dailymail.co.uk related to Prince Phillip and Epstein had been scrubbed, which likely would be intelligence or through D-Notices, but where instead of showing a 404 page would redirect to an article that was similar but benign. I checked the URL on the Wayback Machine and it turned up zero results, but not even the redir…
Maybe they should allow the Internet Archive access to their article after a week or 2. But I think this will hurt them as time goes on more then help. IIRC, one news org blocked free access and their revenue fell. I think that was in Australia. But seems they are using AI as the reason. So allowing after a week will not avoid AI access. But, what happens of an AI Company subscribes to the news site using a person's…
That sounds like a good idea to me. One of the tests for Fair Use in the US, as I understand it, would be whether the archived work "competes" with the original. If people start going to IA instead to read the news, the newspaper might have a claim. But if they're doing it to get around paywalls, or purely for archival/historical/research purposes, that may be allowed. But the reality is such decisions are subjective…
Apologies for the self-promo. Downvote and I'll know not to do it again. This trend of outright banning the Internet Archive has me extremely worried. I fear a future where news articles are memoryholed, and no one can remember exactly what was reported and how sensational it all seemed. I've been working on this project [0] for a while. Originally, I started with a tool that would allow people to snapshot webpages i…
It could work as a decentralized free and open source system that doesn't care about copyright. Like how torrents work now, but it would be good to have it work over Tor or something. Perhaps as a DAO for the management aspect of it. I don't know how exactly. But disregarding copyright by using a centralized company is the wrong idea.
Or you can do the lawful approach and try to work within the framework of that copyright nightmare. But "fuck copyright" is an easier path.
It is not hard to imagine a future in 50 years time where a huge percentage of this content is lost forever, or at best incredibly hard to find.

Is there a way to export/download my saves in a reasonable way?
I'm sure that plays a role, but still... This obviously is about cost and money making, not security as a whole (ime)

It may be easier to convince them if the Internet Archive doesn't allow access for . Not good for the average user now, but at least it would be archived for the future. Better than having no archive at all.

The torrent approach is nice. I could imagine a selfhosted way to store the data (for a group of people)
