It was a collection of silly quotes from IRC channels everywhere, many of which dated back to the 90s. It was rarely ever updated in the 2010s, but now, the URL no longer resolves.

Last capture was July 2023. https://web.archive.org/web/20230601000000*/bash.org

EDIT Someone archived all the quotes on the Internet Archive.

The internet archive is becoming one of the most valuable sites on the web, specially to avoid paywalled corpo pages.

And people are abusing the fuck out of it by uploading tons of copyrighted movies. No one seems to be policing it either. I'm very worried that its days are numbered.

Imagine how many copyrighted books are in IRL libraries. Now imagine that IRL libraries can copy any book in any amount. Congrats, now you imagined what libraries in Europe can do.

Uhh what? I'm pretty sure libraries in Europe can't do that. Do you mean they can photocopy any book they own...?

Not sure how exactly it worked, but some time ago in Russia it was completely legal for library to copy book, but it seems now laws became more strict. Probably some member of United Russia got a shiny new yacht.

That might be legal in Russia, but not in EU or elsewhere in Western Europe. My partner works in a library in UK and copyright stuff is a big problem.

Russia is not necessarily representative of all European legal systems. E.g. they literally proposed legalising piracy of content made by western companies: https://ria.ru/20230622/blokirovka-1879702649.html

Out of all shit gosduma makes, this is the best thing they thought about.

Altenatively if you are pro strong copyright: make copyright inallianable and belonging ONLY to people who directly created stuff.
