I feel like the Internet Archive debate hits differently in countries like the US and UK, and countries like Hungary.
I do tons of academic research. The volumes needed to keep up with academia often run $100+ each. And unless I order them from overseas (delivery $30-50 each) there is no access to them. Several don't have a copy *on the entire continent* (few Hungarian libraries do international loan but it takes large amounts of money and months.)
I imagine many countries are even worse off.
