Wait what?
That's not how the Internet Archive is paid for.
And because it's private, it could have private replacements/competitors.
If another group were to clone all the stuff the Internet Archive doesn't get into hot water for, and not make the obviously hugely risky move that got them in trouble here, does that solve the problem? Are there potential issues re: the Internet Archive suing a second archive that copied them or such?
Seems like an opportunity for some rich folks to make a big philanthropic gesture in support of archiving information and making it available.
