Was Plan 9 pulled, and was it for copyright reasons?

A torrent of the file from archive.org is available:

This was put up right after the slashdotting.

I don't know either, but it'll be a shame if it's gone, it was a good example of a bad movie...

Although the uploader believed that the movie was public domain (and ticked the box saying he had the rights to upload it), the Archive admins received a query from a third party who believes that it is not, so it's been taken offline for now to investigate further.

AFAIK it's still possible to download it directly from the FTP server, as I did last night, not knowing it wasn't allowed anymore.
Since it didn't work from any of my browsers, I simply tried and got it directly with an FTP client.

Don't think it is any more? Tell me if you can still do it.
