How likely is it that a "Internet Archive v2 foundation" will be founded, "partner" with the Internet Archive, rescue all the content, and the IA v1 is allowed to go bankrupt?
Because I surely won't donate money just to fund greedy copyright holders, but I'd be happy to fund The Archive.
- amanda99 3y agoI think that's illegal, something like a phoenix company[0]? [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_company
- tgsovlerkhgsel 3y agoIt sounds like those are legal in many cases, and I'd expect that it becomes easier when it's all nonprofits.
- mminer237 2y agoI have no idea how a not-for-profit bankruptcy would even work, but yeah, I definitely expect the Internet Archive will continue in some form regardless of what happens.
