Like I said, I have no problems with individuals archiving it and not republishing it.
If I take a newspaper article and republish it on my site I guarantee you I will get a takedown notice. That will be especially true if I start linking to my copy as the canonical source from places like Wikipedia.
It’s a fine line. Is archive.org a library (wasn’t there a court case about this recently…) or are they republishing?
Either way, it doesn’t matter for me any more. The pages are gone from the archive, and they won’t archive any more.
