Rosenberg said he spoke privately with his wife, his daughter and other close friends before recording the message and said he “didn’t sleep last night.”

you can't buy an iPad without a touchscreen. your argument feels like arguing that tariffs won't affect consumers because they're paid by the importers

on that note:

The Copyright Office has separately rejected bids by artists for copyrights on images generated by the AI system Midjourney. Those artists argued that ⁠they were entitled to copyrights for images they created with AI assistance - unlike Thaler, who said his system created “A ‌Recent Entrance to Paradise” independently.

my point is not to ignore the machete, but to not assume the monkey

I agree the dispute is stupid, but IMO the more important part here is anrchive.today's undisclosed execution of malware to try and win a dispute.

34 (mainly non–core Anglosphere newspapers) of the 121 platforms TWL can give you access to require an application. The rest you can access automatically, instantaneously right now as long as you meet the stats.

I mentioned that this (only) solves one (of two) major problems archive.today was used to solve: paywalls. This is also very workable; you already have major newspapers like Haaretz and WSJ available on TWL.

I also mentioned that the backcatalogue problem can be solved by running a different archiving service on the existing archive.today URLs we use.

I am an active editor lol. I'm saying that the proposal is to establish something similar to TWL for media URLs. It would serve the same purpose for editors as a major complaint in the discussion was over addition of Archive.today links to bypass paywalls. Obviously developing this deal would take a lot of work but it is workable.

You must first apply to gain access.

That's not true. Anyone who meets the stats you mentioned may access TWL.

the WML does not host any of these publications

Indeed, that's what makes it legally sound and prevents us from needing to relicense. We don't need to license the content to copyleft for the thing to work.

Archived pages wouldn't necessarily be the knowledge they distribute, just ways to verify the knowledge they distribute is correct. Content from The Wikipedia Library (which provides access to academia) isn't relicensed at all, for example. Such a service would be a project but not a sister project like Wikisource is,

The Wikimedia project gets to host verbatim third-party news articles? This is creative but completely unrealistic

It would be just like the extant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library.

In the worst case we could just run Megalodon on all the archive.today URLs

 

DDoS hit blog that tried to uncover Archive.today founder's identity in 2023. [...] A Tumblr blog post apparently written by the Archive.today founder seems to generally confirm the emails’ veracity, but says the original version threatened to create “a patokallio.gay dating app,” not “a gyrovague.gay dating app.”

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Archive-today-Operator-uses-users-for-DDoS-attack-11171455.html:

By having Archive.today unknowingly let users access the Finnish blogger's URL, their IP addresses are transmitted to him. This could be a point of attack for prosecuting copyright infringements.

No, you do not need real time chat, you need searchable, permanent presence

why not both? Discourse is really nice but it's a forum, not IRC or Matrix
