The internet archive is doing god's work. It's up there with Wikipedia as a resource. Copyright needs a massive overhaul, especially with the written word, and post death. No one should inherit copyright or ownership on the owners death.

The saying "the internet never forgets" turned out to be just wrong.
Having some sites archived is often immensely useful when digging around.

Archive.today took the problem into their own hands. I have mad respect for them.

I'm not a journalist, but I "sign" here on HN with my upvote and a comment.

Apparently this is also the only way to recover a youtube playlist if you accidentally click delete instead of edit.
at least after spending a half hour researching how to recover one - everyone says find the url, go to the internet archive and hope.
Youtube has terrible ux for edit playlist (one desktop anyway)
Luckliy I had a google takeout from not too long ago, and I have been using the YT music much less, so the loss was not as devastating.

The Internet Archive could block (or add a nag wall) all IP addresses from the NY Times to give the journalist and workers there how it feels to be blocked. I guess that would be against IA’s mission “Universal Access To All Knowledge”

> This letter is coming at a time where many major media outlets are questioning whether to allow the Wayback Machine to continue to preserve journalism.
Questioning whether to allow? Hmm. I didn't know media outlets we're judge and jury...

What a pity that some major news publishers have taken to blocking the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
