  18. Re:"and websites" on The Internet Archive Is Now the Largest Collection of Historical Software Online · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hmmmm - well I help out with ArchiveTeam, we grab some of the sites which go in.

    Anyway.... as far as I understand is that the IA have a special licence/cause/getout agreement which lets them do this as a charity. Of course if CP or other illegal items were found, they are blacked out - they still are archived but aren't accessable by the public (I don't know exactly what happens to CP, but other stuff just goes away). The same for other works which companies request blacking out. Apparently this happens with _a lot_ of nintendo materials, and with a 100 year history you can imagine this is a large selection of material.

  19. Re:"and websites" on The Internet Archive Is Now the Largest Collection of Historical Software Online · · Score: 2

    Apart from the oddities such as CP, which laws exactly is copying a website breaking?

    Everything presented by the wayback machine - which is how the websites are presented are clearly marked as archives and not live sites.
