As many of us are aware the internet archive is under legal flak for sharing books during covid to the dismay of book publishers

This makes me wonder. What if they never actually shared any media or websites, and instead gave a series of links to libraryofbabel.info (or similar website modified to generate random html code) which would conatain either the direct text or the source code of the designated media?

By doing this they would be able to circumvent copyright laws as anything they share would be the product of randomly generated code and they would simply be telling you where to find it as opposed to sharing the image

secondly, what if we made a website like this but for compression? Instead of needing 400mb of compressed files you could have a 2mb text file that links you to the necessary pages

TLDR instead of compressing the entire bee movie script you would only need to compress a text folder containing 1-10 of "https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?bee\_movie\_script\_random))" and write a program to decrypt them
