Was the hacker motivated by IP? The article appears to say no.

From the article, there was a DDoS carried out by a pro-Palestine group. The access tokens were stolen by someone else, who wasn't motivated by anything Israel/Palestine.
That doesn't mean they were of course, and most likely they weren't.

Protesting copyright and enabling pirate-like access to materials is orthogonal to archiving the world's data and recording our history. Internet Archive should focus on its mission of archival. Let other groups figure out copyright. By taking on both tasks, IA risks everything and could stumble in its goal to be an archivist platform. We need an entity dedicated to recording history. IA is that. They're just biting…

If they were to only focus on archiving, nobody would know if anything has actually been archived for nearly 100 years; after we are all dead.

Is there more to it? [0]: https://www.hyphanet.org/ [1]: h…
Hi, Freenet's FAQ explains the renaming/rebranding here: [1] Neither version of Freenet is designed for long-term archiving of large amounts of data so it probably isn't ideally suited to replacing archive.org, but we are planning to build decentralized alternatives to services like wikipedia on top of Freenet.

Nearly every entry in the library has a torrent file (which is a distributed storage system), but with the index pages down, they're not accessible.
I can hardly find a healthy torrent for an obscure feature film that I care about. How am I supposed to find a healthy torrent for a random web page from the aughts?
