Are you willingly ignoring the Internet Archive which is exactly doing that, and is not a for-profit operation?
We need more of those, agreed, but it makes no sense saying "no one is doing that."

I ADORE Archive. But guess what, they're being sued into the ground over doing EXACTLY what we all want them to do: preserving things. If anything, this absolutely 100% proves my point: we have 1 example of a modern Library of Alexandria, and it is in danger because someone is upset they didn't get paid. This is even more than choosing as a society not to save information and our culture. This is being outright HOSTILE towards the idea.
