There is so much pirated material on Internet Archive. They have so many movies with titles directly from the warez groups. I don't think they are done getting in trouble sadly.

Google appear to host loads of infringing works (both as files and in YouTube) ... surely for both them and IA they're protected as long as they take down in response to properly formed and evidenced DMCA requests?

Unless you're suggesting this isn't user uploaded but is being put there by staff?

YouTube has built a whole content ID and revenue sharing agreements as a direct result of getting sued nearly into oblivion by numerous organizations. Most "infringing works" on YouTube are permitted under an agreement laying out revenue sharing with the rights holder, and if not, is flagged and taken down when found.

None of that is in place with IA and I fear their laissez-faire attitude in this current climate is gonna bite them in the ass.
