Don't want everyone's Time Machine to become obsolete! 

Wow, I guess now everybody will know that all the "BlissNinnyReviewGuy420" reviews of Phil Lesh's 2005 tour came from me.

damn. i have no actual idea, but id guess that internet archive probably hosts a large amount of pro palestinian media and literature as well as historical documents backing up the cause, just based on the fact that they host so much media and information in general. probably not a very effective or well thought out method of protest.

That post isn't some internet rando she is Director of Cybersecurity at EFF the org John Barlow helped start. She said "the goal of the attack was to Preserve records war crimes and atrocities, which is something they do, actually, and that human rights defenders rely on. Did I mention the puppy kicking?"

Archive.org no longer works.  Nothing loads.  Boo hiss.  Was phantastic was it lasted.  Now where do you go for the music????

Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked http://archive.org and http://openlibrary.org offline.

@internetarchive is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability. Will share more as we know it.

Fuck.
