@molly0xfff What's the point of a token you can't transfer and that doesn't offer any rewards?

Newsletter: FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried says he wants a do-over just as Celsius fraudster Alex Mashinsky goes to trial, and some more ill-received blockchain games suggest “GameFi” has an uncertain future. -
People have gotten so used to the existence of the Internet Archive’s web archive that they forget how revolutionary and subversive it is.@molly0xfff @williamoconnell Yes, that may be a legal problem. But those are a fraction of what's available in the Archive. It's easy to reduce the availability to "out if print" websites (which is actually the deal the Internet Archive has struck with Hachette et Al regarding ebooks).
But in any case, nobody goes to the IA instead og loading today's version of a website. Everyone will go there first, before checking the IA for a version no longer available live. Major distinction for Fair Use.

But I would argue that the majority of the archive shows old websites, which are no longer available in that fashion, so they don't make money for anyone. The use of the Internet Archive does not replace or reduce use of the current versions of the websites.
That makes a major difference in the Fair Use test under US Copyright.

The 2nd Circuit chided the IA for "usurping" the book market; there is no such market for old websites.
(Now that may leave a legal problem for publishing services if paywalled websites that still exist a such.)
