Ask HN: Does anyone have a backup of Aaron Swartz' site: theinfo.org?

Hi HN folks,

I was browsing Aaron's blog [http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rawnerve] when I noticed the footer links out to http://theinfo.org/ (last updated March 2008). However, none of the links are still alive, and I couldn't find any pages that were backed up on Archive.org.

I figured this would be the best place to ask - does anyone have an archive of these pages?

    Working backwards:

    Here's a snapshot from October 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20211020224005/http://theinfo.or...

    The updated links in it (to http://theinfo.anandology.com/) seem dead though.

    In 2014 there are error messages, and sometimes just court records: https://web.archive.org/web/20140215110438/http://theinfo.or...

    The latest I can find of what looks like the original site is 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/20121003205028/http://theinfo.or...

    The next snapshot it's replaced with the court records.

    Let's not forget jottit.com. Aaron's website to make notes. It was useful back in the day.

    Another place to ask these types of questions is on /r/datahoarder.
