- compyman 6y agoIt's a pun! :)
- bluntfang 6y agoand archive.org doesn't listen to archivists
- dublinben 6y agoAre Archive.org not themselves archivists?
- bluntfang 6y agoaccording to the archivists i know, they are cowboys who don't listen to the advice or follow the historic practices of archivists. For example, you should ask permission before you archive something. You have the right to be forgotten, and archive.org scoffs at that premise by ingesting and serving the whole historic web without permission from the owners.
