It's called disrupting the market, I don't see why not. Uber innovated, airbnb innovated and now non profit internet archive.

This is ironic because Uber "innovated" by being a taxi service that didn't follow taxi laws and AirBnB "innovated" by being a hotel service that didn't follow hotel laws.

Sure enough, the Internet Archive chose to "innovate" libraries with the National Emergency Library, by simply not following copyright laws.

Uber and Airbnb are still in dubious legal territory themselves, especially when it comes to employment/renters rights.
