'When the IP address changes, SEO experts claim that Google temporarily “punishes” the domain by dropping it in the rankings.' Stopped reading right there.

Compatibility with other recently upgraded plug-ins or conflict with rules in a custom functions file (if there is one)? A simple disable/enable process will usually flush out the culprit.

People not wanting to use public transport has led to a surge in demand for second hand cars. There is also a lot of free money sloshing around, hence demand for M5s and such going up, not down. Re your midlife crisis. People who care what car you drive are generally not worth bothering with.

There are many more opportunities available as an alternative to providing web design services to people who have little or no budget and often no idea what they actually want. How anyone made a living doing this is beyond me?

That's interesting although I'd be careful of broadcasting your game that's going to attract a copy-cat element.

The fact that the coyright owner has let the domain lapse and not bothered to clean up any trace suggests that any subsequent claims are going to be few and far between?

Did the content owners give permission for archive.org to copy their work, or even know such an organisation exists? Yes, technically you may be using someone else's work but by allowing the domain to drop and allowing the content to be hosted by a third party the owner has been somewhat...
