It's not just problematic content, it's criminal behavior. And the site has a bad reputation for archival, given that the owner altered the content of archived articles.

The site commits copyright infringement by showing you content it doesn't have the rights for. This is not the kind of site to go on about morals for.
>the site has a bad reputation
Not compared to archive.org. archive.is has a much better track record.
I'm not sure whether you're making a joke or confusing the two websites.
You’re just not at all familiar with the subject.
Archive.org is awful. It allows site owners and random third parties to edit old archived pages.
Archive.today does not.

How is that supposed to be a big deal when the one of core services archive.today provides is obviously illegal anyway?
I'm not sure how illegal copyright violations really are, given that all major tech companies are doing it. DDoS attacks, on the other hand, are pretty clear-cut.
I also think "but they also do that other crime" doesn't help their case.
I think the DDoS is clearly problematic, I just don't think it's problematic because it's criminal.
It's problematic because it's childish and pointlessly degrades the user experience.
