also, from the linked DMCA, this is a pretty rich complaint to put into a GitHub takedown: "For hard paywalls, it is our understanding that the identified Bypass Paywalls technology automatically scans web archives for a crawled version of the protected content and displays that content." I guess merely the automation of that work-around constitutes an infringing action.
