Hate to tell you this, but the IA will probably not be back, if ever.

Between the hackers that have been attacking it recently and the Hachette book case, they're not doing well.

"The Internet Archive’s legal woes are not over. In 2023, a group of music labels, including Universal Music Group and Sony, sued the archive in a copyright infringement case over a music digitization project. That case is still making its way through the courts. The damages could be up to $400 million, an amount that could pose an existential threat to the nonprofit.

They're on the hook for millions that they can't afford to pay. They're also being barred from having any copy protected works.

According to Jason Scott (who works for the Internet Archive):

Quote:

Just to set expectations: as the Internet Archive is up, additional work is being done and any issues or concerns may mean the site is taken down for a time. I assure you, we know when it is and are continuing our work.

Interesting. I didn't even know that they had a library alongside the Wayback Machine.

Well the plans are that it will be; Brewster Kahle (the guy in charge) says they are still working, but they've had some significant damage done and are rebuilding databases and improving security.
