The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending

Hope somebody buys it and starts using it as an LLM with investors since that's apparently the only way to avoid a lawsuit

The 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.
