I don’t follow the first paragraph of this comment at all, it just seems vaguely antagonistic. You also seem to be suggesting I’m taking a view on a debate that I am not.

- Chris2048 9mo agoThe practise in this case is not starting a competing service to archive.org, but linking to it, so the downsides are what?
- pgwhalen 9mo agoPresumably if hosting and sharing copyrighted content is legally questionable, then linking to it (especially systematically) might be as well. IANAL.
- Chris2048 9mo agoPerhaps, but for different reasons (not liability for hosting). And if there is liability in intend - I already raised those questions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46669775 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46669775 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46669774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46669774
