Taking down PirateBay didn't kill the torrents it hosted
No, but it landed the founders in jail. Are you suggesting we just accept jail as an outcome if we want to save the internet archive?
Piratebay itself was taken down. You need piratebay to distribute the magnet links.
Well then, just use an anonymus service to distribute magnet links (i2p, tor, blockchain)
Fully agree. In fact, that's what I'm suggesting in my original comment.
Web3 is essentially just indexing links. But since indexing links to pirated data is illegal, that's why the blockchain is needed. Sure, tor is also viable, but riskier for the people hosting the websites.
I agree but I find blockchain technology too costly hardwarewise, a simple anonimizing network may be enough
