Honestly, I feel like the Internet Archive is playing with fire in a lot of stuff. I won't link it here, but last night I saw a repo that was hosting hundreds of emulator-compatible Switch games, even more recent stuff like Super Mario Wonder, that was easy to download. Also, just a ton of full TV shows are directly available to download, often direct blu-ray rips.

This really has started to make the Internet Archive one of the best places to pirate media. It's starting to have a comparable selection to ThePirateBay, but without any ads for "Hot Milfs In Your Area".

I love IA, but I think they really need to start cracking down on this stuff, because if they don't I think it's going to prompt even more lawsuits.
