Removing Your Site from the Wayback Machine

Let's say you spend a few years building a site and then things change and you lose interest. You stop paying for hosting and let the domain drop?

Then someone catches the domain and recreates the site with your content, without your knowledge or permission. You're happy with this are you?

What's to stop someone from doing that without the internet archive?

If the domain has dropped how are they going to find the content?
