Unlike Wikipedia, IA not well-funded. Why not consider a donation?

For an organization that is not well-funded, it has taken some remarkably risky actions that few nonprofits or commercial ventures would ever attempt.

I wonder if there's isn't some uber-wealthy Silicon Valley connection waiting in the wings to bail IA out if operating costs, legal fees and financial penalties overwhelm its budget.

Conspiracy theories are always amusing, but I can assure you there isn't some billionaire sitting with a check in case things go incredibly south. I would tell you that things you are defining is risky are simply steps being taken for a library in the 21st century. Anyone not addressing these issues is going to have a very bad wake up in 5 to 10 years.
