The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for
The archive isn't completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too.
And I think you can't just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit.
I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.
You definitely can just buy a .org, I own multiple.
Horse shit. I have had several org domains, some for over 20 years now, and never been a nonprofit
Hope somebody buys it and starts using it as an LLM with investors since that's apparently the only way to avoid a lawsuit
