    Wait, wasn’t the case about the archive giving people unlimited borrowing during COVID?

    To me using the internet archive’s interface is clunkier than archive.today’s. Maybe it’s the thumbnails, maybe it’s the loading times.

      Yes. That I don’t have an issue with, although I think it was a mistake in hindsight.

      The issue was trying to face the publishers head on in court, and then coming at them with a frivilous legal argument that had no hope in succeeding. They’ve done the same with their appeal - and donors have paid for both. They should have done absolutely everything they could to settle out of court.

      I agree, but just because archive.today is more polished doesn’t mean it’s more trustworthy or respectable.
