This reminds me some petition that some TF2 youtubers make to deliver to Valve HQ, now we got Internet Archive petition, I admit some times I used Internet Archive to look some pages on the Internet.
Music, samples, music producer freebies, voice acting, voice models, and otherwise rare finds. Рада помочь русскоговорящим. Семплы в ссылках вниз)))

That's probably the most threatening thing for labels -- think of all the policies written online, services and music offered today that won't be there in the future. Articles and videos on different media companies' misdeeds. If that ain't motive to cross out the archive, I don't know what is.
What was the TF2 YouTuber petition?
Cartoons that services refuse to give you via a subscription or any official way to own them, or games that are easy to get instead of selling my soul for a secondhand copy of SoulSilver. Have you ever heard of "Yin Yang Yo"?
I haven't, but those are all valid reasons to use the archive. Games or magazines that are only available on ebay. Games I bought 20 years ago, more than once. The Chris Chan chronicles that were never locked behind a paywall to begin with. Deleted videos. VHS that will only continue to degrade over time.
There are even some 4K upscales of VHS/DVDs. And what do they all have in common? They aren't competing with copyrighted material in the market. They all have only a smattering of views.
Internet Archive is one of the most important websites on the internet and must be protected
Based. What do you usually use it for?
@ADR3-N resisting Memory hole. Also to rent books that are expensive or out of print
This is another thing Archive is great for -- though it used to be better. Now a lot of books are limited to preview-only, because of the somewhat recent covid open library related lawsuit. A lot of times, if a book is both rare and popular, you'll end up on a waiting list for quite some time. I understand that this allows them to actually comply to the one-copy lending letter of the law, but it sure is annoying! Luckily, folks tend to upload multiple copies of the same book haha.
Before all that, the internet archive introduced me to the moth and mite eaten pages of Winston Churchill's biographies, quite a few great history books from the 1800s, and no shortage of books on music production. What was your first book you remember renting on IA?
Hey I sign this
Thanks. It helps if you share too!
I don't know what legal effect it'll have on the case, but the more people are angry about danger to the archive and point out legal arguments for its existence, the better.
I recently discovered an old gaming news outlet shut down and lapsed with their domain ownership so an article written about monster mashing deluxe is gone and no one snapshotted it on the wayback machine :/
That sucks. That's why I downloaded the archive.org extension to check if different sites have at least one snapshot. If it doesn't, I'll archive it
@BickerySebastian Aww, man! Not Yin Yang Yo! It's one of the staples of my early childhood!
I must have missed out on this one. I recognize the animation style as the same as Fairly Odd Parents but 06 was the era in which I didn't really have TV. My parents cut cable because of rising costs, and I stole internet from the neighbor down the street with a macguyvered antenna and wifi adapter to watch youtube instead
@ADR3-N convenient! had no idea it existed, downloading now :)
There are a few quirks -- like obviously don't leave the page while it's archiving. You'll also want to check a few boxes and log into internet archive to be able to upload your web snapshots rather than save them locally.
What I would love to see happen is if we can untether or partially untether the internet archive from being hosted on IA itself. Move to something like webtorrent, which is P2P hosting of assets. OR, imagine if they could implement that with some of the site files, like videos and audio. This would make old webpages with those assets properly viewable/playable
I don’t know why, but the last time I used Internet Archive is to watch random videos from 1995, lol
Also sick profile picture 🔫
Nostalgia rules. Just random ones? Or was it like a show. I found a VHS archive on there
Also, thanks, @Creeperforce24 made it for an album cover uwu
@ADR3-N Lol it wasn’t even nostalgia, it was a court video from a random city in the US.
But... why hahaha
@ADR3-N Don’t ask me, I don’t even know. 😂
Here's that VHS vault I was talking about. Got like 39k movies in there to pore through
archive.org/details/vhsvault_inbox?page=18
If I'm not mistaken, I found an entire series of Japanese Spiderman with Michael Bay Explosions
@ADR3-N Nice. I started with Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature by Dr. Francis Crick (he discovered DNA). About a 200$ for a copy
Then Keep it simple : the early design years of Apple, which costs 2500$ right now
They are phenomenal but no way im paying that haha. Love Internet Archive
Ooh, lovely options. Looks like I have 2 new books to add to the reading list!
I've used the internet archive for a lot things...probably #1 tho is for 'unsavory' nostalgia websites if you catch my drift
That either sounds like canceled media, ebaums, or rotten.com >.>
But if it's none of those, I'm scared to find out what it is
@Czyszy @ADR3-N 'Yin Yang Yo!' was less deep than 'Fairly Odd Parents' but it had its moments and a better dynamic, because the siblings could bounce ideas off of somebody of the same age and 'similar but different' outlook on life.
The series had a lot of insanity, but the plots themselves were surprisingly well-written. (Apart from the 'origin' bits late in the series.) Plus: 'Carl the Evil Cockroach Wizard' had some great energy going on.
Edit: You can't beat the 'Fairly Odd Parents' episode 'The Boy Who Would be Queen', though. That was pretty much _the_ single best cartoon episode in that entire decade.
I use the Internet Archive to search old websites (Newgrounds especially), find books, and download abandoned software and firmware. Playing DOS games there is fun too. I also upload a fair bit to the Internet Archive; some abandoned software and a handful of videos from YouTube that were either taken down or from controversial figures.
I've played a few of the old genesis games on there. Was hard to get used to the controls, but I was shocked at how hard they were! Rather than having complex stories more often than not, it seemed an exercise in training to failure, until you mastered the games.
Another thing I want to add, the Internet Archive is very important to government accountability, both for preserving information and records that were smothered by oppression, and for remembering what was damaged and mangled if it ever is repaired.
@ADR3-N TF2 youtubers created a petiton about cheater bots in game, and announced as #fixtf2 and signatures hits around 300,000 and they delivered personally this whole book with signed nicknames from players (including me because I'm a TF2 player) to Valve HQ
Aalasteir
I use the Internet archive to look for web pages, and movies for example a horror film titled Threads!
ADR3-N
I completely forgot about that, despite using the archive extension for ... basically everything!
