Can anyone explain to me how displaying those sites on demand is not copyright infringement? I'm seriously curious, I don't know much about copyright laws.

- dvirsky 13y agoNot a lawyer, but I guess this probably falls under fair use, which includes (from the Wikipedia article) both search engine use, and library archiving of content. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use
- karasinski 13y agoThe Archive is also legally a library, which allows them to get away with a lot of things that companies cannot.
- gwern 13y agoAlso, doesn't the IA have specific privileges given it by Congressional legislation at some point? I seem to recall that coming up in abandonware discussions.
- ivank 13y agohttps://archive.org/about/dmca.php https://archive.org/about/dmca.php - it looks like the exemptions applied to everyone, for 3 years at least.
- shmerl 13y agoIt should be fair use (non commercial, library purpose usage etc.).
