That is annoying indeed - it would be nice if the Web had some way to keep links eternally valid. But people didn't even manage Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to work beyond the death of the publishing companies that issued them...

Perhaps links could be auto-replaced to archive.org links if they ceased to exist?
