The NYT and other newspapers don’t go after the archived link providers. Probably because the newspapers scholarly mission includes things like preservation. But they also have a profit motive or they can’t stay in business.

This implicit permission for the archive links to exist, gives some of us the implicit permission to pirate the content.

Disclaimer: I am a happy subscriber to the NYT (and other digital newspapers).
