I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. But it is practical advice.

I believe it should be taken into consideration where in the world
- the legal owner is located
- where the archiver is located
- where the archive is located
- where the archive server is located
Secondly, without knowing, I would expect that several legal owner would not mind that many of their old products are preserverved, if asked for permission. Do you have any experience of that?
In my experience, it depends on the person and their involvement in the project wether or not they mind if their works are preserved. I have received all kinds of responses, from apathy, to excitement, to anger that their works are preserved. I've had people ask me to remove archived items, and I've also had people bend over backwards to send me versions and source code not yet online. It really depends on each situation.
However, I personally don't care if they want their works preserved or not. I don't ask permission if their work was originally intentionally made public, because by making it public, they have "lost" their right to control access. This varies from country to country and legal system to legal system.
Enjoying the show time later.
I didn't know what to expect from the show, as I was not familiar with the works of an archivist. Now, having listened it, I learned.
Until now, I thought about downloadable items (games, as per the show) without permission to be piracy, and I did not comprehend how Archive.org had so much... as you said, it might not be legal in some cases, but it is also a matter of "safe". Thanks for giving this perspective.
Liked your audio and voice quality.
Thanks!
