Kind of sucks access to old videos is gone. I remember watching a lot of Arab spring and occupy wall street streams live as they happened on the site. It's a shame to lose those videos and the interesting historical info in them.

The Archive project has been busy getting these as quickly as possible. https://archive.org/details/justintv https://archive.org/details/justintv You may find a lot of those videos have been saved. I think there was a limit on which videos were actually saved as those with no views or only few were not selected.

  Videos with more than 10 views were downloaded. In addition, many videos that people asked to be saved were downloaded.

Fear not! https://archive.org/details/justintv https://archive.org/details/justintv ... however, it doesn't have absolutely everything. Justin.tv had so much data that even the Internet Archive and Archive Team had issues coping with it in such a short term. EDIT: Ah damnit, ejr was faster.

  Actually it was a matter of it being a silly amount of terabytes once you get to videos with <9 views. https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/476064989879349248 https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/476064989879349248
