minus-square@norimeelinkEnglish-3•11 days 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.

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.

There are literally no rules on who can own one. 4chan is a .org domain…
