Sure, that's true, but good luck suing a Chinese NPM mirror or a Russian NPM mirror.
When you upload something to the internet it's there forever. The only way to ensure something is not on the internet is if you don't post it (and even then...). People are destined to learn this lesson over and over again.
It works both ways, if you want something gone, it will remain forever. If you spend hours searching for something and finally finding a post on a forum from 2007 where someone goes "this fixed it for me: <link>", that link will never work and won't be archived by archive.org.
Are you really excited to use a Russian NPM mirror that is providing tarballs and ignoring copyright as your dependency vendor?
