Have you ever heard of the mysterious places called "libraries"? IA does not "republish" anything, it is an archive.
Technically, each time that it is viewed it is a republication from copyright perspective. It's a digital copy that is redistributed; the original copy that was made doesn't go away when someone views it. There's not just one copy that people pass around like a library book.
