There's a lot of sentiment here uncritically equating "right" to "the law". Yes, they almost certainly will not win because it seems (at least to a layperson like me) that they've broken the law. However, that doesn't mean the law is right.

No, that is not what's happening and you are willfully misreading the people who disagree with you. The people who oppose IA's decision are doing this because it was foolish to tie the continued existence of the Archive to a designed-to-fail protest action. I encourage protesting unjust laws, but if you set things up so that your inherently-doomed protest will take a critical piece of infrastructure down with you, people are going to be pissed. Don't take something people rely on and make it collateral damage.
