The Internet Archive Is In Danger... - YouTube

The video is full of legal jargon but basically, four major for-profit book publishers are suing the Internet archive for copyright infringement. This looks like it could easily be settled out of court but it is also concerning. As we are all aware, many of the stories on the Huge List are only accessible via the WayBack Machine. At least 80 to 85% of them, including two thirds of Angel’s Private Eye series, one of the best series on the site.

We may need to find other ways to preserve these stories and we can never be too prepared. Just the thought of some of these stories being lost forever makes me feel dead inside. Am I worrying too much? Maybe, maybe not but I at least think this is something we should all be wary of.
