I work in a niche inside a niche. I deal with terabytes of storage, massive servers, a variety of storage tech, and I’ve been in interested in computers in general for… Around 40 years. (Yeah, I’m old.)

I have my own single person company and have worked in 40+ US states, done assignments in the UK, Norway.

    Archive.org, one of my favourite websites, has been targetted by litigation.

    What do you feel will happen to this website in the years and decades ahead? And what will happen to digital archiving should the site be eliminated from the web?

      That’s more of a regulatory / legal grey area, because their mission is data preservation and sharing, which conflicts with the interests of copyright holders.

      In my situation, ownership isn’t in question, so it’s not an issue.

      Since I’m not a lawyer or prognosticator, I’ll just say that copyright law has been manipulated to favour companies for too long, and government/politicians need to claw back some rights for their constituents. I’d personally like to see copyright cut short, and execptions for digital lending carved out.
