AI companys would probably like this. Easier for them to get data.

Nothing will stop corpos from getting data.

But we can prevent them from paywalling access by having archives of our own.

Hmm, "archive of our own" sounds like a great name for something.

Eh, it's a bit long.

We should make it shorter, like with an acronym or something.

Well, clearly AOOO is the right choice here.

Even if they do just end up using AA to build their data, at least WE get to also have a copy instead of it being destroyed.
