The fear is that the "someone" will be the selfsame publisher companies.

  Why would they want 30 years of archived websites?

    To sell them $1 per page?

    To prevent others from buying it, causing another lawsuit?

      Why would there be another lawsuit? Book publishers dont care about archived websites. They care about IAs side activity of digitizing books and ignoring copyright. I can see them bankrupting the IA to stop their copyright infringement, but I don't think they have an interest is stopping the sale of the archive. They may not even have a legal ability to stop a sale during bankruptcy.
