I wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for
Hope somebody buys it and starts using it as an LLM with investors since that's apparently the only way to avoid a lawsuit
The archive isn't completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too.
And I think you can't just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit.
I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.
They've just been sued into almost certain bankruptcy.
lol, no.
.org just means "organization". There are literally no rules on who can own one.
4chan is a .org domain...
You definitely can just buy a .org, I own multiple.
Horse shit. I have had several org domains, some for over 20 years now, and never been a nonprofit
