So, you’re kind of correct. However, you CAN make profit by acting as an ‘organizer’ for the charity event, where the charity pays you the money as a service, but directly gets the donations. See: Games Done Quick, which is a for-profit LLC that the various charities they ‘support’ pay them to put on the event. Of course, this number naturally is likely to end up being a % of the last event’s donations.

This absolutely annoys the heck out of me.

I didnt have access to good internet, this was back in dial-up era in the 90s and even though my pals had 56k, I was still on a very spotty 33k modem. I bought “Corel Linux” on disc(s) from Costco. It wasn’t particularly great, but I definitely learned a lot about getting linux to play nice with hardware!

On top of the other posts, archive.org is involved in a major lawsuit and its theoretically possible it would be forced to shut down depending on how big the copyright violation fines end up being, among other things.
