I just dropped here to praise archivists and their merit in general. I treasure content (regardless of its perceived quality) preservation much more than legal or even ethical problems associated with it.

Anecdote: Remember when Microsoft Corp. declared what they love open source software and launched CodePlex platform, and then lost their business interest in it (when they bought GitHub) so they completely erased CodePlex archives? I was able to reach several long forgotten project I was interested in thanks to invaluable work of independent volunteer archivists. (It was quite tough manual job for me, I had to d/l database then locate desired archive segment and only then could transfer required files via bittorrent proto)
