    Already got a copy on my NAS, I update it every year or two when I remember to.

    But you’ve missed the point, my personal access to a Wikipedia text snapshot is not equivalent to the free access of information to everyone. The information just existing somewhere isn’t enough.

    And anyway a person can’t practically keep their own copy of the Internet Archive. It takes up something like a quarter of an exabyte

      It existing somewhere is better than nothing, though. Internet archive on the other hand, that one is a lot harder.
