It would be a shame if another website pop up and uploaded these removed book to it and call it, idk, Internet Alexandria or something.

Would be a shame if they decided to call it something with the letter z and the word library in it

every media outlet has to mention WayBackMachine; it's such a great outreach and legitimizing
