Yeah, the wayback machine is clearly the most valuable service they provide by far and it would be a huge loss if liability from the other stuff forced it to close. Could it be spun off somehow?
I say this as a user of the other stuff. I just built a site that relies on them to serve classic game assets (legally, because it's just the free demo)[1]. But I'd definitely prefer that they shut that down if it could keep the wayback machine on.
