The bastards who do this.
This tool, along with the archive websites, are what saved us TERFs when we needed proof of what was happening with the Frankenweenie assaults. Now they want to make everything disappear...
The Internet has lost all of its initial meaning, they make the Internet a money grabber now. Everything must have a dollar sign attached to it. I hate this world...
@Chronic-Yonic You can tell a corrupt system by how they only start punishing the archivists when they start archiving the undesirable information.
I'm with you, internet archive is a great resource (a resource I've personally donated money to because they do great work), but they're gonna get their shit packed in, and it's their own fault.
The problem is that they're the biggest piracy site on planet earth. You can get most movies, many books (not through their library programs), you can download packs containing every single game for virtually every game console they had ever existed, and so much more. If you had a magical memory stick that contained the entirety of the internet archive, you could have a full and happy life filled with new media every single day, because there's that much stuff on there. It's bigger than megaupload in it's heydey.
They should have kept to their core mission, acting as a legal online library and internet archive, perhaps host archives of confirmed public domain files. Instead they've really threatened their mission by playing fast and loose with the rules to the extent that their end is inevitable now, and it'll be a massive loss for the whole internet.
