There should be more internet archives, for various reasons, but it doesn't seem like anyone is willing to put in the effort and money involved, let alone the legal headaches.

I agree. And I am dismayed that government and academic institutions like to dance around the legal issues of archiving (outsourcing the legal risk to Internet Archive), instead of pushing for legal protections/exemptions for the act of archiving.
The UK and Portugal are both doing it for domestically published websites.
