Archive.org seems more than willing to let stuff be steamrolled by corporations and archives completely lost. archive.org/details/WhereDidIComeFromCopy Just saw I had my archival account taken down along with the first backup of Where Did I Come From, a previously lost Sid the Science Kid video that's pretty weird. It seems the account was targeted for this content, but the entire thing was removed along with my other archived content. I am beyond mad with archive.org for being yet another service that allows this to happen. They've even apparently claimed they were trying to "soften DMCA rules" or something in 2016 and it doesn't seem to have done anything and was probably a bit of an empty gesture. I'd already suspected the wayback machine and the archive were unreliable after finding out that people can just ASK to get stuff removed without any verification they're the owner of the content they want removed, like with Youtube.
Anyways, back to where did I come from. This makes me suspect Jim Henson corp knows about the uploads now, and are probably going to target the youtube reuploads as well. I'd suggest backing some of them up since the RAW is now useless.
If they receive a complaint that somebody's copyrighted material is hosted on their site, they legally have to comply. That's standard for any site - even ours (we've had to remove copyrighted images before). This is why, in the past, I've recommended NOT putting all your eggs in any one basket.

Do archives not have some sort of immunity, when the content hosted wasn't available before being hosted on an archive? Guessing not because of how much of a mess the copyright system has become. And I do have local backups of the content I put on there, as well as there being copies of Where did I come from on Youtube, but who knows how long those'll last. And the major problem also comes in when it comes to whether the claim is legit or not, or if they even have a way to see who DMCA'd content, that is important. Archive.org doesn't seem to have that at all, at least on the user's side, and have no way to file any sort of counter claim like on Youtube or any reasonable site. That and they delete the ENTIRE account from one claim, removing every archive on it. Not even YT commonly does that, whatever one piece of content was flagged is taken down. Content on archive.org seems to be the easiest to take down, as well, with no verification process for claiming that content is yours other than claiming you're the content owner/the owner's friend even. And I'm curious, can you legally reveal what page those images were from?
