FTFY
It's both. I'm sure Puff Daddy, and R Kelly would rather we forget all the horrible things they've done rather than make money off of it. At the same time the NYTimes and the Atlantic would love to make money off their articles about those two people.
That literally has nothing to do with archive.org
Archive.com is not archive.org.

I keep seeing people reference diddy did something bad, without mentioning what he did......
Half a dozen people have accused him of sexual assault.
He assaulted a singer named Cassie.
Addition to what others have stated. He is in trouble for more than just one woman. There are many claiming, but Cassie was the first (I think) that accused him and got paid to not say anything. That made his civil suit with her go away, but the feds built up a case and busted on human trafficking amongst other things. His old employee has a bunch of recordings of illegal stuff.
i actually doubt that. i bet of they could make money off of it woth no repercussions they would not give a single fuck.
So we're accusing P.Diddy and R. Kelley of DDOSing the Internet Archive, then?
Nobody is denying it I noticed.
I wasn't being literal but go right ahead.
Then wtf does it have to do with anything related to the IA
You're either a troll or a dipshit. They introduced an example where both interests of removing information from the public forum and having the monopoly of reporting on that information work to undermine archiving. It is important for the truth and for public trust that we support Internet Archive and other archivists/historians.
They introduced an example of whay P.Diddy has to do with anything?
Exactly. We're allowed to know based on what we can afford to know.
