      The Internet Archive does more than just the Wayback Machine.
      They have a project called Great78, to archive every 78 RPM record, since they are deteriorating. The lawsuits from the music firms are taking issue with that, depsite no-one using it as a replacement for buying or streaming music. The “Damages” are bullshit.
      Funding the lawsuit, and potentially losing it does threaten the Wayback Machine, and the archive as a whole.
