Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

No-Man, perhaps CAAF thinks that Moreno has achieved its desired effect -- or at least that it should wait to see whether it has.
In The Brethren, Woodward and Armstrong write about the Supreme Court's "movie day":
Move day was the humorous highpoint of most terms. Year after year, several of the Justices and most of the clerks went either into a basement storeroom or to one of the larger conference rooms to watch feature films that were exhibits in obscenity cases that had been appealed to the Court.
Douglas, and Black during his years on the Court, never went. In their view, nothing could be banned. "If I want to go see that film, I should pay money," Black once said, and he wondered aloud why nine men, many in their seventies, should make judgments about sexuality. The Court was acting as a "Supreme Board of Censors," he said.
Burger too preferred not to go.
But the others sat on folding chairs with their clerks, watching such films as I Am Curious (Yellow) projected onto a white wall. During his later years, Harlan watched the films from the first row, a few feet from the screen, able only to make out the general outlines. His clerk or another Justice would dscribe the action. "By Jove," Harlan would exclaim. "Extraordinary."
Clerks frequently mocked Stewart's approach to obscenity, calling out in the darkened roo: "That's it, that's it, I know it when I see it."
Bob Woodward & Scott Armstrong, The Brethren 198 (1979).
Maybe CAAF is afraid that Moreno will devolve into their own hellish version of "movie day," with the judges having to devote endless attention to the potentially prejudicial effect of some particular post-trial postponement. Maybe they are slowly disengaging. But let's hope they don't adopt a "contemporary community standard" for post-trial delay. Under the Miller standard, nothing must be obscene in West Hollywood; in the naval service, nothing would be inordinate post-trial delay.
I had an interesting discussion with a counsel involved in Moreno, who said they are actually going to retry him. Seems as though the original SJA rotated back to Okinawa and thinks this one needs to be retried. They even want to do in in Japan, even though none of the original players are there. (Well, except for the SJA.) Sounds like some good issue are being generated already. Can't go too much into it here.
