Internet Archiv will go .onion
That only helps for shadow libraries whose operators are unknown. The Internet Archive, on the other hand, is a registered non-profit organisation, so how would they be able to hide themselves?
Just like the OG Pirate Bay. They closed down, and someone else, unknown, took over.
That's not unproblematic ofc as the new owner can do whatever they want without the oversight of the non-profit.
It'd be harder for IA since they have hundreds of PBs of hard drives. You need like a warehouse for it so it's a lot harder to hop around
