Archive.org doesn't have everything and their archives can be cleared of specific content on request of the copyright holder. There is a big copyright issue here as in the UK we don't have the relatively liberal Fair Use exceptions that are in the USC - we only just got permission to format shift and make personal-use backups (so MP3 players [using tracks ripped from CD] are legal as of June this year!). Copying down a website, beyond caching, is generally speaking copyright infringement for those in the UK. |

Not only that. If a domain expires and is picked up by a squatter, the squatter can instruct Archive.org to delete ALL copies of content archived from that domain. Unfortunately many do so.
