"Somehow slipped in" - are you fr rn? I don't wonder anything about that, was very convenient.

  Are you claiming the copyright holders put them there? You might want to be specific about which ones were some kind of false flag conspiracy plot (is it just "Rumours"?) because there are thousands and thousands of pirated pieces of media on archive.org. I am behind there being some kind of archive project but as things stand the site was/is just Mega with a veneer of respectability.

    Internet Archive continues to leak the verified email address of the uploader of each item, so conspiracy guy can run a spot check should he so desire.

      Fair if true, though it's not like someone uploading things to IA is likely to be using an address like michael.scott @ dundermifflin.com or something. More likely it's something anonymous. Certainly so if they were planting things to sue over, you can bet they'd use an account like dsfhakeij@ mail.ru or something.

    Mega isn't indexed and decrypts content in javascript on the client. If people are using it to share your stuff, you have to find where they're sharing it to even find out that it's on there. Now, Hollywood did this to themselves, because back when it was Megaupload the fact that they had a search index was used as an excuse to shut down the whole service because a couple of employees used it to access infringing stuff without taking it down, so Mega got rid of that as a means to prevent it from happening again. Internet Archive is searchable and executes DMCA takedown notices. If something of yours is on there and you don't want it to be, it's not because they're making it hard to change that.
