Rules were made to be broken. In this case, dang themselves has commented on the matter[1]. Complaining about paywalls is off topic and discouraged, and linking archives is tolerated. I disagree with your sentiment vehemently. Firstly, law is not morality; people break the law all the time, every day, at their own discretion. It was made by humans and is not infallible. Secondly, I can’t just do a few GET requests to Netflix and get the full movie, yet this archive.is scraper has no trouble. So I guess it wasn’t very protected to begin with. The internet giveth, and the internet taketh away. They can get their better protection by not serving full articles publicly. They presumably do not because they would like to eat their cake and have it too with regards to indexing. This is hugely off topic so apologies but there is a reasonable chance I am not replying beyond this point.
