Discussion of the Wayback Machine, a service that copies and archives 'snapshots' of the World Wide Web. The existence of such service - and also Google's caching service - raises the question of the implication of copyright and especially subscription based sites. Will they be simply omitted from the historical record? Or will the archiving services provide a useful way to avoid paying for articles.
