> One really good cause for making a donation or charitable gift is the Internet Archive. I agree. I started donating more than a decade ago. At first, my donations were motived not by altruism but by self-interest: I was saving a lot of money by downloading out-of-copyright books from the IA rather than buying reprints or used editions, and I wanted to help keep the IA in operation. I've since come to understand and respect the IA's overall mission more, and my annual donations now are motivated slightly less by selfishness.
