The BBC has stored at least some of if in an archive in cooperation with the British Library. I've posted a link to an earlier article; you can find it by browsing some of the "TLDs" they're removing. (BTW, did anyone notice that the BBC calls these sites "TLDs", and that they took a beating for that by people who assumed they were incorrectly referring to "Top Level Domains"? But, TLD can mean "Top Level Directory" too, which is entirely accurate. Most amusing...) Anyway, I think it's good that we're developing a culture where some people care, and make sure that things get archived, even if it's done sometimes unnecessarily, and almost always only gets a degraded copy (ie, a web rip without streaming videos, and without structured data). I only hope that these vigilante actions don't lead companies to not pre-announce massive data erasures.
