- old content is obsolete, stale, bad
- The Internet Archive has every copy of everything that has ever existed
- There are other archives that may have the same or similar content. There may be a need to resolve conflicts with the content of the archives
- A single archive is vulnerable.
- In the Web world, in order to monetize their content the copyright owner has to minimize the number of copies.
- Archives aren’t magic web sites They’re just web sites.
