Yes, but does this mean we can use their files?  In Germany it isn't
allowed: the files are protected for a couple of year (Leistungsschutz:
somebody took the pain digitizing old manuscripts and you are not
allowed to reuse these files for your own project).

Let's hope archive.org will survive long enough.
