The Internet Archive situationship drags on. Who knows what will be lost (or removed)? Let's think about the past and future of open information.

Something Old:

• Kate Knibbs, “The Internet Archive Loses Its Appeal of a Major Copyright Case” ( Wired ) archive
  

  
  

  
  

Something New:

• Wes Davis, “The Internet Archive is under attack” ( The Verge )
  

  
  

Something Borrowed:

• James Somets, “Torching the Modern-Day Library of Alexandria” (on Google Books, The Atlantic , which otherwise delenda est ) archive (h/t Hacker News)
  

  
  

Something Blue:

• ArchiveBox, a DIY Internet archive stack
