Be sure to burn all the archived articles in libraries. We wouldn't want pesky expired history changing our minds.

... wait aren't online archives identical to hardcopy archives.... Silly me, they are totally different.

I'm not defending the ruling but speed of access does make a qualitative difference with genuine implications.

So...make them available only at certain hours and only over a 56k modem?

Make it only available to the government. Your average citizen shouldn't have access to so much information; only the government should.

Didn't consider that. However I would suspect anyone that anyone searching for them would rely on 10 seconds on the internet and they would stomp around to other sources.
