Archive.is bypasses paywalls and does not honor takedown requests. Copyright infringement is what it's designed for.

As you said, bona fide archiving happens on archive.org




I disagree that the purpose of archive.is is "Copyright infringement", I have argued the archive.org should not honor take down requests and should challenge them in court, as it ceased to be a true archive if at anytime anyone can just remove things they do not like from the archive. DMCA abuse on archive.org is a real problem for controversial issues today
