If only people stopped paying for anything on Internet... Copyright boomers would be bankrupted within a week and would be instantly humbled.
I didn't buy anything in 20 years.
Well definitely I'm not against piracy but playing the devil's advocate companies and people in general live from profits and trying to maximise those is part of any healthy business. You might call it greediness but in fact that's how anyone manages to grow a business. Nevertheless, there are things that arguably will not impact the business or maybe will have little to no impact as is the case of spreading (no selling) abandonaware and obsolete software.
For the non obsolete software there is a challenge of having a fair price globally though since budgets vary massively across the world and since is near to impossible to enforce market borders without hurting the sales companies decide on raise law suits against pirates (also they cannot differentiate how people use their stuff - commercially or not).
We can discuss all aspects of why things are the way they are. I would say pirate but be fair and stay safe. Also, piracy is much more than an action but rather a community or a set of them sharing similar interests.
Anyone know how much space it would be to do a full backup of their servers? like is it possible to archive the internet archive just make archives all the way down lol
EDIT: Found the information for anyone who is curious

Does this mean I should start mass downloading
Maybe, I'm already doing so
what is the size of the files right now....?
Yes.
Where can I go to get updates on this
If you all gonna do it head over to r!/data hoarder and coordinate which files to preserve and which ones are already preserved
Isn't the whole thing over their book lending practices? The IA in general is fine?
Someone clarify this please, cause I've also thought this
If you click the link the first thing on the page says "were fighting for library rights this friday". So dont worry, your understanding is correct.
Damn the copyright trolls.
I have a question, can't they just move to a county that doesn't give a shit about copyright?
yes. but their a issue with abusing that system . where they attack the isp/host companies themselves.
Hope it goes well

The fact is if no one pays no one will produce anything since there will be no profit so definitely copyright will not be a problem neither piracy.
People would pay if they were priced lower and here's so many different platforms/subscriptions rn.

You only eat what you find in dumpsters?
Food: perishable, finite. A digital file: never expires, basically infinitely replicatable. not a smart comparison
What makes you assume they don't buy local?

Roughly a three story building filled with towers of servers.
Buy a small city and fill the entire buildings with servers, easy. Why nobody is doing this already?!?!
IA should just pull their servers out of the US and go into a country that doesn’t give a shit about US copyright law. They don’t stand a chance here.
Like where? I just can recall Iran and China as countries that don't care about copyright but it doesn't necessarily mean they would care about IA
Oh boi they are f*ged
oh dem
Is it possible to get torrents of some parts of archive?
