So far, the only sin archive.today has been accused of is retaliating against a guy attempting to dox them.

That's a pretty small sin in my book. To be written off as wildly unsuccessful but entirely justified self defense.

DDoSing gyrovague.com is silly, not evil.

The content on gyrovague.com which targets archive.today is evil, plain and simple.

archive.today has a documented history of altering the archived content, as such they immediately lose the veil of protection of a service of "public good" in my books.

Just my 2 ยข, not that it really matters anymore in this current information-warfare climate and polarization. :/

I think you're missing that circumventing paywalls is unlawful in most parts of the world.

Respectfully, it's not, in most parts of the world.

And a necessity if you want to archive the content correctly, also necessary if you want the archives to be publicly available.

Not really sure if circumventing paywalls is that unlawful across the world, but basically copying and pasting an entire web page is just clear and simple copyright violation.
