Internet Archive Suit Settled

News.com reported that the suit issued back in July 2005 over the Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive has now been settled. Of course, the terms of the settlement have not been released to the public. In short, there was a page archived by the Wayback Machine that had sensitive information on it, the Wayback Machine technically should not of indexed it but a “temporary bug” had it indexed for a bit. Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive said, “this is really a lawsuit between two parties and we got sort of dragged into it and I’m glad we’re now out of it.” Read the long suit we reported back in July ’05 here.
