I guess things could be worse? The Internet Archive is too precious of a resource for humanity to lose. I still fear its days are numbered. I don't think non-technical people appreciate it, or are even aware of its existence, in the same way as Wikipedia.

I'm a technical person, and not a fan of copyright by any means, and I don't appreaciate it either.

To be clear, I appreciate the concept of an "Internet Archive", but the current organization / execution / management is absolutely atrocious.

Nah, it's like the wild West - I'll hold IA accountable ONLY for CP - ONLY.

If corpos want there shit off the site - they should have to send someone to take that down - every single times the whole process, always on them.

The IA is just like a big box with a copy of everything in another box.

Boxes aren't bad bc I put something bad into a box - this is a little more nuanced than that
