      Corporations will never offer such archives, as they’re a money losing proposition. In some cases IP and copyright law is even such that content can’t be realistically archived and provided.

          Copyright expires long after unprofitable content has been all but lost forever, something like 100 years after the death of the original creator. It used to be a far shorter period, but US corporations with big profitable IP holdings keep bribing lawmakers to extend it, and force its enforcement outside of the US as well. The concept of being able to sell copyrights is also quite silly if you ask me.

          So unfortunate Gutenberg and similar libraries can only have really old stuff as things stand.

      I still miss what.cd

      Isn’t there a site called redacted that is meant to replace it? I remember failing the interviews for it.

          I failed the interview because even though I got all the answers correct I had their interview prep page open in another tab and when they gave me the chance to come clean about it I lied instead 😬
