I completely understood. No one is going to IA as their first stop. They’re only going there if they want to see a history change or if the original site is gone.
Because if you’re referencing something specific, why would you take the chance that someone changes that page? Are you going to monitor that from then on and make sure it’s still correct/relevant? No, you take what is effectively a screenshot and link to that.
You aren’t really thinking about this from any standpoint except your advertising revenue.
This conversation makes me want to throw up, as most discussions that revolve around the DMCA usually do. Using rights under the DMCA doesn’t put you in very good company.
No one is using Internet Archive to bypass ads. Anyone who would think of doing that already has ad blockers on.

Have you ever heard of the mysterious places called “libraries”? IA does not “republish” anything, it is an archive.
