I wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for

1 0 ReplyThe archive isn't completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too.

I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.

They've just been sued into almost certain bankruptcy.

lol, no.
.org just means "organization". There are literally no rules on who can own one.
4chan is a .org domain...
