!textfiles@mastodon.archive.org - A silly milestone we passed sometime this year: The Internet Archive now emulates (to various degrees, of course), over 250,000 pieces of software, hardware, and electronics, thanks to the effort of a dozen emulation projects and all of them running in the browser. Live again, ancient software!

Damn, that's fucking awesome. How long until they start receiving DMCAs from AiPlex or Nintendo?

(AiPlex is an Indian anti-piracy company who's becoming known for spamming DMCAs and extorting content creators for even the slightest IP violations (sometimes striking reviews which contain no infringing content whatsoever or spamming DMCAs on irrelevant videos to force content creators to cave to their demands). They do it claiming to represent companies who have previously not given a shit.)

Internet Archive's been victim to anti-preservation efforts for years. They'll deal with them likely the same way they always do, and are dealing with a lawsuit right now over The Great 78 Project.
