Archive it properly and negotiate with rights holders of material and performance.
Eventually it will be in the Public Domain, though US Corporations have maliciously lobbied and got copyright period extended too much.

The long history of bootlegging has no impact on the morality or legality.

There is a long history of pirating books in the 19th C. esp. (and into 20th), by legitimate US publishers. The AI LLM purveyors have extensively pirated and used current pirates.

Awesome treasures for sure, but how is this legal? 🤔

Copyright?

The performers own the performance copyright. The material is also mostly copyright.

But the Internet Archive went beyond backup of Websites to pirating of music, video, software and books.
