    Wait, you just asked the Internet Archive to take down stuff, and they complied without asking for proof of ownership? This seems to run counter with their own guidelines.

      No… I took down content from a previous owner. So you can absolutely buy an old domain and demand to take down old content.

      I just pulled up the email. The only evidence I gave them is that I emailed them from the “contact webmaster” email address that was posted on the main site page ([email protected]).

      They removed everything from their archive completely relating to both domains I was inquiring about. One being originally my fathers and that was transferred to me completely.
