  The irony of bypassing the paywall to an article talking about publications dying and how hard it is for publications to make money.

    Most media sites lower their paywall for archive.org for altruistic reasons. I wonder if there is some kind of compromise where the paywall only goes down after X days (presumably most interest occurs within the first few days publishing). It would still service the archival mission, but would diminish the use of the archive as a bypass of the paywall. It won't help if the basic economics aren't there. And maybe the free-readers wouldn't read anyway on average if the paywall remained (the old napster argument). But it might be a good compromise on the margin.

              You're welcome, I wasn't entirely sure but I was 99% sure this wasn't run by archive.org, that's why I asked for a reference.
