Worthless leeches. Preservation of media is so important, otherwise so much of our history will be lost to these greedy corporations.

Write your reps folks! I wrote my senators and congressional rep; if enough reps hear about this and realize how important the internet archive is they can help (even having a senator/representative getting in the middle with the threat of changes to the law to protect the internet archive could result in a much more favorable outcome).

None of these corporations want history recorded at all, without a record they can never be painted in a light they don’t fully control
