> so no one will ever be able to change the past just because there is no digital record of it. The Web needs a memory, the ability to look back.

I thought the issue is/was that site owners (original, or purchasing the domain afterwards) could via a robots.txt remove their site from the archive?

or has this changed and now no matter what happens if the archive crawls a site on a date it stays no matter if 10 years down the road somebody buys the domain and decides to retroactively erase everything?
