    The fact that these incredibly well funded companies have the arrogance to believe they have the right to hammer the Internet Archive’s limited resources for their own gain is disgusting.

      Well I mean… They do. What’re you gonna do about? Cry?

      I know that might seem harsh but like, I don’t believe that there is anything most internet users can do about this except for learn to live with it. And the business executives and shareholders that only see dollar signs and Pay Piggies know it too. People keep complaining, but companies keep doing this kind of thing basically unconstested, and if they ever are contested, they will just bury you in legal fees until you give up. Even if you and i don’t pay for their products (as much as we can, sometimes these people are in charge of actual life necessities), they know there is a sucker born every second just dying to shower them with money. It never ends.
