The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.
@hailey I hope people follow your advice and rip off as much stuff as they can. SO much of the culture of the past twenty years is in two or three ephemeral places, and no one officially being allowed to archive it means that a bunch of us need to UN-officially archive it.
