The lawsuit said the recordings are all available on authorized streaming services and "face no danger of being lost, forgotten, or destroyed."

Sigh. Once again, it looks like the Internet Archive has gone beyond simply being an archive and has stuck its foot into the legal woodchipper.

If they survive these lawsuits I hope they learn a serious lesson from all this. It's great that they save and preserve data like this, but they should stop poking the bear. Only make the abandoned stuff easy to download. If something's currently commercially available then you can leave it up to the pirates to make it "free."

If they lose this lawsuit (which they will) then all archiving of anything which isn't public domain is in danger.
