It looks like (((they))) might be trying to take down archive.org and the wayback machine. Now might be a good time to save your stuff offline. (whatever)

From what I understand, some (((publishers))) are getting together to sue archive.org because archive.org has allowed users to publish works which have been copyrighted by said (((publishers)))...or something like that. It seems that archive.org is now going to have to pay up, and if they can't, the site might be shutdown. Oy vey!
Maybe nothing will come of this, but in either case, now might be a good time to make a backup of your favorite things and save it all offline.

That is extremely dangerous. This goes way beyond gaming. They want to set the precedent of destroying historical record.
