Losing the internet archive would be such a huge loss... I really hope they have a backup plan in case things go bad legally.

yeah, it's definitely going to be one of the most important things to have ever happened in human history, if it does.

Library of Alexandria burning down for the modern era

Damn. I hadn’t even thought of it. Isn’t it crazy that some people among us would see things like that burn and not even wince. Hell, some would even celebrate. Our lives are so short. It blows my mind that anyone would want to destroy something like that for any reason.

All of the files on the archive have torrent's available. If they just release all of the torrent files or their URL's, people can start seeding and downloading them. It would be a lot of data though.
