I'm trying to understand... he has decided to burden a charity with his distribution expenses?

There's some symmetry to the way the Internet Archive assumes consent to reproduce other people's content, and people assuming consent to take advantage of the Internet Archive's mirroring. I don't know if this is in line with the Internet Archive's terms-of-service, or the law.

In this case they'd be getting stuck with a pretty big bandwidth hit.

Well. His measly 30TB probably costs the internet archive a single digit amount.

He could donate $10 to the internet archive and they ought to be even. Way cheaper than those $2656.74
