Re: Why can site owners erase history? |
That seems very odd to me, though I'm not a copyright lawyer. It would seem that the instant you publish something on the Internet and make it freely available to world, you'd lose the right to exert that sort of control over it.
I'm not saying that you should lose all rights — like the right to stop others from selling material that you created — but I would think you'd lose the right to make it private again and prevent the IA from simply making a record of what existed.
Again, though, I'm not a copyright lawyer and I realize I cannot trust my gut on this. Do you know for a fact that copyright considerations explain why the IA allows no-indexing — is it written anywhere officially or by an IA official in another forum — or is this merely your supposition?

Re: Why can site owners erase history? |
Unless I'm mistaken, Web owners retain intellectual rights to anything they post online - I believe that means it's covered by this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act I believe, that's why retaining anything they don't want you to could get you in trouble, because the site owner still has that intellectual right to the content.
