Aren't all physical memorials, statues, plaques, banners paid for? Just like paying for the upkeeping of a memorial, I see no difference.

Someone just has to keep paying for the domain and hosting and it will remain forever. This is proposing that we never allow these domains to be registered again, even if they expire

If the Internet Archive would support hosting the content/collection, I'd be willing to throw $50-100 into a pool to prepay the domain for the next 10-20 years.

The content can't be over a GB. Hosting that all static in S3 would be, what? ~$0.10/month+transfer costs?
