News publishers limit Internet Archive access due ...
What if the TOS expressly prohibits archiving it, and it's also copyrighted?

Then said writers of TOS should be dragged in front of a judge to be berated, then tarred and feathered, and ran out of the courtroom on a rail.
Having your cake and eating it too should never be valid law.

Maybe we should start with those who made such copyright claims a possibility in the first place

If copyright can be used to prevent the archiving of ToS documents, a copyright duration of 3 years would be sufficient. Not all objections to copyright boil down to "the Mickey Mouse Protection Act should never have passed!".

I don’t think contracts and agreements that both parties can’t keep copies of are valid in any US jurisdiction.
