I like them, but they seriously need a change in management.
- nostromo 6y agoIt's unpopular here, but that stunt really made me wonder about their management. They opened themselves up to millions of dollars (if not billions of dollars) of liability for no good reason. (Covid doesn't give you a pass to give away someone else's property without permission.) Similar to you, I'm not going to donate to an org that is so reckless with donations. If they would admit it was an error in judgement and come to a quick settlement I might become a donor again. Even still, the damage has been done -- it'll take a long time for publishers to trust the Internet Archive again.
