minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-20•5 months agoI wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•5 months agoHope somebody buys it and starts using it as an LLM with investors since that’s apparently the only way to avoid a lawsuit
minus-square@norimeelinkEnglish-3•5 months agoThe archive isn’t completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too. And I think you can’t just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit. I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•5 months agoYou definitely can just buy a .org, I own multiple.
