On occasion I will run across a website that makes me pause for a moment and think, “what the heck are they thinking?” This is one of those sites. These guys are the historian version of the hacktivist Anonymous. They go into various websites, both ones that are in danger of shutting down for good and ones that simply seem like a strong candidate in preserving the climate of this time period with their content, and archive them. And by archive I totally mean straight up copy and save. Is what these guys are doing for the common good, or is a it a gross violation of the rights of authors and creators of the work they are storing?
