What’s frustrating is that the ones who claimed to have done this are self-proclaimed “hacktivists”. You’re stupid if you think the Internet Archive is the enemy in this day and age.
I really hope the rest of the archive comes back soon. I was in the middle of a book and it was a book I hadn’t read since I was a kid.
Yeah, I could pay for it or wait for it to come via interlibrary loan (it’s not exactly a well-known book), but I really didn’t need a physical copy. And it isn’t even all that long.

Thanks, I just used their PayPal link to send my support and light my torch!

Sigh.
