Regarding this article:


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/9973160/British-Library-to-begin-web-harvest.html


Would this be every webpage then, hosted on UK domains - I'm a bit surprised this would be allowed but seems that's the plan?


Mentions even tweets, which I guess may be in the T&C when you sign up to Twitter...


But private websites too? I know that services like Way Back Machine on Archive dot org do similar thing, but if you host a website and a page content - take that page down, for whatever reason - the libraries can still make that content publically available?


Am I understanding this correct?

So it's right that these long-standing arrangements have now been brought up to date for the 21st century

Access to the material, including archived websites, will be offered in reading rooms at each of the legal deposit libraries.
How very 21st century. :rolleyes:
