TL;DR It's copyright.
Apparently the archive's crawlers have been able to access material that is paywalled in a regular browser and that's got copyright holders' panties in a bunch.

Fuck ‘em (the people paywalling stuff).

There’s plenty of fuck 'em to go around here.
Fuck the people paywalling stuff
Fuck archive.today for all the shady shit they’ve pulled
Fuck Spain for blocking archive.today, it’s still a very useful resource despite the shady shit.

Naturally the rights holder failing to properly secure their shit is everyone else’s problem.
