Link not working. They are doing something weird with the PDF

  That's super bizarre. I manually verified that the url worked after I archived it. I wonder if the do some kind of DCMA thing automatically for urls on their website, to have them removed from the wayback machine?

    Yeah it's working now, very weird indeed. DCMA would not work here since they are hosting a copy of it for archival purposes, and not claiming copyright. The original public URL is included. Archive.org does respect robots.txt tho. It is possible to completely delete a site's history on Archive.org by modifying the robots.txt (at least in the past, not sure if that is the case now)

      Wow. I tested the link after your comment and it was broken for me at that time as well. So the link really does seem to have flip-flopped between working and non-working a few times. Sound like some kind of weirdness in the archive.org infrastructure might be causing it.
