I know the wayback machine doesn't backup every web page. But I've never s een this before. A friend told me there as a very good web page at the U o f Md Medical Center site on alternative medicine, but they had recently tak en it down with the rather cryptic message, 'We no longer license the "Alte rnative Medicine" content at the website address you visited.'.

I checked the wayback machine and it only has the same page as backups with the same message. I'm wondering if the backup page has some sort of link to an outside source that is being reloaded rather than displaying the cont ent from the backup date. Here is the site URL

It seems odd they would not have backed up the web page until April, then b acked up some 100 versions of the same page with no changes during any of t hat.

I'd like to write UMMC and ask if the content was from another site and wha t that URL would be, but they don't give out an email address.

When I've used the wayback machine it had a calendar of back-up dates so you could see the evolution of the page of interest...

Yes, that's the strange part. The dates start in April '18 and end in Sept , about 100 backups. When I try to look at them they all seem to be the sa me with the notice that they no longer "license" the content, whatever that means.

They may not allow crawlers.

They also don't allow contact by email. I'd like to find out what that message about "license" means and if they got the content from somewhere else.

I expect its a euphemism for we don't want to host this and nor do we want to get into an arguemnt about that.

I suspect it is the victim of a retroactive robots.txt
