      I think that it’s in a grey area, but if the site were to sue someone it would be the archive, not people linking it, so it’s safe for us.

        I’m not concerned with being sued, I’m just asking if it’s copying someone’s work when that person (or whomever holds the copyright) hasn’t allowed it to be copied. Is that what’s happening here?

          Ah, got it.

          I’m not too sure but I think that it’s weak copyright infringement (piracy), indeed. However the content being available for free from the site itself, plus the lack of enforcement of its copy rights, muddies a bit the matter.
