How does Wayback machine get around this? Is it because this material is freely published or simply because way back isn't monetized?

They don't really "get around" it, as mentioned in the parent comment they worked to get legal exceptions for many things. As you point out though I imagine they wouldn't have gotten the exceptions had they not been a 501c3 org.
