Lawyers' Delight: Old Web Material Doesn't Disappear - WSJ.com The Wayback Machine (www.waybackmachine.org) is run by the Internet Archive, a nonprofit group started in 1996 to build a massive digital repository of cultural artifacts, including old TV shows, books and live music recordings. One of the Wayback Machine's most popular uses is in adjudicating cases of cyber-squatting, a tactic in which people register Web names associated with famous brands, either to piggyback on their fame or make a quick buck by selling the domain name back to its owner.
