Thank you! I'm also a little shocked, I had no idea Archive.org was doing this. I'm starting to get the impression that there's quite a lot going on under the hood at archive.org, just reams of stuff I've never noticed ...


>I had no idea Archive.org was doing this

Until someone at Microsoft notices and puts in a DMCA.


Judging by its past actions, MS doesn't care much about piracy. If anything, I think they'd still rather you pirate Windows than use Linux.


IA has a carve out exemption


I don’t think so? This only talks about the anti-circumvention clause: https://archive.org/about/dmca.php
