Most of these services have some kind of fair-use policy. Nothing that you would notice as a small to medium-sized user, but if you push the kind of bandwidth that I imagine the Internet Archive would, or if you're suffering from a large-scale, targeted DDoS, I'm pretty sure you'd be "encouraged" to switch to the Enterprise plan, which starts at $3k/month if the numbers posted in various discussions on this topic can be trusted.

True, good point. In their case, Sucuri actually offered to help for free via twitter, which is nice. CloudFlare has project Galileo, which they could apply for and get free DDoS help.

The importance of the Internet Archive is such that we can not allow it to ever go down.

thanks,
