Good, hopefully other countries do the same. Don't care about the copyright thing but the operator has shown that they can't be trusted.

TL;DR It's copyright.

Apparently the archive's crawlers have been able to access material that is paywalled in a regular browser and that's got copyright holders' panties in a bunch.

Specifically, in order to protect paywalls, not because Archive.Today did anything nefarious.

OK Spain. Instead of Archive.today what about those AI companies? I heard they used copyright material....

Because freedom is not profitable.

oh they were circumventing the precious paywall. what a perfect excuse.

That only incentivizes people to use Tor more ,to get around bullshit bans. Nothing can truly be banned if you know the minimum necessary to "unban" yourself.
