The Internet Archive is an internet facing library. That's not (just) a "legal fiction" to get around some laws.

- maxerickson 12y agoMy phrasing is such because "internet facing library" is not a well established concept, in any sense.
- azakai 12y agoWell, probably few people here are lawyers specializing in copyright law. But at least at first glance, the rationale for the IA's position is that they are a nonprofit, and their motivations are clearly just to archive and preserve this stuff for the future. And, without them, this stuff might well end up not being preserved.
