Despite Paramount Global’s corporate decision to purge MTV News’ online content (as well as that of Comedy Central, TVLand and CMT), much of the site has been resurrected on the Internet Archive, which now offers “a searchable index of 460,575 web pages previously published at mtv.com/news.”

We need to archive the Internet Archive.

Maybe put it in international waters.

If you’re reading this and haven’t yet donated to the internet archive I encourage you to do so. They do important work that is crucial to preserving the history of the internet.

And sign their Open Letter to Publishers, which will help demonstrate public support during their ongoing lawsuit:

I’ve been conditioned to believe change.org is beyond useless but if that’s what they’re requesting I guess I’ll throw my hat in
