> is explicitly for bypassing paywalls like this

The site existed for most of a decade before it had any particular paywall bypassing. It's an ondemand archival site that saves the DOM in such a way that redisplay is faithful, unlike archive.org.

It's a key resource in court cases for purely archival purposes and the fact that it bypasses paywalls is essential for its archival purpose to function.

Yeah, sure (sarcastic). And people mostly use torrents to share Linux distros.

The site/org has no office and is anonymously run virtually. Exists on random, essentially free for all TLDs, does not honour take-down requests, does not respect robots.txt, masquerades as the Googlebot...

...yeah, I happen to have not been born yesterday so I'm not going to play along with a fiction.

Nothing you said contradicts the post you responded to, so there's no need to be rude (e.g. sarcasm) or adversarial here. You are both correct.

That’s nice. I’m still not giving the NYT my email or a dime.
