Does an equivalent exist on the darknet? They wouldn't be able to take that down, especially if it's built upon decentralisation for the books themselves. The index could be centralised, curated, or built by the community with the ability to back it up.

The internet archive is a great project but it's baffling to me how difficult it is to distribute the content. It's incredibly difficult to go "I have X amount of space available, store some of it on my disk". More advanced stuff like "distribute the top content on my hard drive. I have X amount of space to give and X bandwidth".

Tor counts as state-compromised because they have enough resources to deanonymize it. Even so, we must not ignore the fact that more and more of the darknet has been taken down in international cooperation recently ( well k dont know about I2P ). Criminals attach great importance to this and not all of them are taken down because of stupid mistakes. I would also trust them to block Internet nodes. Only allow what adheres to age verification etc. and solve a lot of problems in one fell swoop...

Update: After publication, a representative from Internet Archive informed us that they are not aware of any disruption to their services at this time.

The Open Library domain (openlibrary.org) doesn’t appear on the master blacklist of FOD Economie either, while several domains of the other four ‘target sites’ are included. We have reached out to the responsible authority in Belgium to get clarification on this discrepancy and will update the article if we hear back.

The worse part is at what levels the execution is happening everywhere. As these will only be the first platforms to be affected.

who is aware that studies, results and publications are financed with taxpayers' money? That both the author and the country have to pay again after publication if they want to access it from the publisher? And that the money does not go to the authors or anywhere else, but only to the publisher?

I hope you are aware that the InternetArchive also contains dumps of websites that are not legal in Europe? They will then go directly to the InternetArchive.
