The internet archive is becoming one of the most valuable sites on the web, specially to avoid paywalled corpo pages.
And people are abusing the fuck out of it by uploading tons of copyrighted movies. No one seems to be policing it either. I'm very worried that its days are numbered.
The Internet Archive has special status that gives it protections. What might kill it is the erosion of support for public libraries and such. The advancement of media companies' attempt to have absolute control over everything they release, by binding it into their own services.
I don't know that it has protections from people uploading Disney movies to it.
First example on a quick search: https://archive.org/details/LionKing1.5DisneyChannel
I really love the Internet Archive and have relied on it many times, but this is going to kill it and I'm just watching it happen in real time with nothing being done.
