   I wonder why doesn’t the Internet Archive require logging-in prior to accessing the Wayback Machine. It would probably help them distinguish humans from bots, at a very little cost to humans.

         Why not? If its the difference between the information being available at all, then I choose login any day of the week.

            This really only inconveniences people, not bots.
