So is the Internet Archive a library, or a preservation place? I feel like you're advocating for them to be both, which isn't how the law views them.

Edit: I for one would prefer they not waste money on a losing battle, and stick to preserving things. Id hate to see them lose on trying to be a library, and then all of their efforts wasted.

I'll admit that I do like that they're trying to scurt the law by doing what you've said, but it clearly isn't enough.
