In populating the data for the movie "Night Moves" (tt2043933), I was looking to populate the official promotional website for the movie as on their trailer --
http://www.nightmovesmovie.com/ -- but as you can see, it's a dead link. This is an extremely common problem, as studios do not maintain the websites after the initial marketing push and let the domains lapse.
An obvious solution to this is to do what Wikipedia does to protect themselves against the problem of stale links, and that is to use the "Wayback Machine" function of the Internet Archive to point to the original website content at the time is was created (or at any point in its existence) as they crawl the web and capture historical backups.
For example, compare the current state of the website listed above versus the capture by the Wayback Machine, listed below.
https://web.archive.org/web/20141111034015/http://www.nightmovesmovie.com/
This seems an excellent solution to the problem of dead links (as it still also provides the original URL as part of its reference). Do you have any philosophical problems with my providing this indirect link to the historical data whenever practicable?
