This is why I'm building/curating my personal archive with stuff that I think may be worthwhile saving (not only for myself necessarily).
Perhaps there will be many personal archives like mine that one day can be shared in a similar vein to copy parties.
We will need to treat the information we find online with its impermanence in mind (as authors, making things easy to copy, and consumers, copying stuff).
Perhaps it is this mindset that, when sufficiently prevalent, could make the internet more like a library again; weed out the garbage und curate the nuggets.
Btw I think archive.org is doing God's work but I don't believe any amount of coding and crawling will be able to save everything (nor should it). It can capture some raw data for (future AI?) historians to sift through though.
