The Ray Bradbury error is the very cutting edge of web technology.

Did Microsoft threaten to sue for contributory infringement?

Hope we hear some more, but since the author is Japanese I kinda doubt it.

I get the same error from a Japanese IP, so it's not that he has decided to block foreigners.

The server itself is actually returning a 500.

Someone surely has it archived? It was a static site.

I checked the WaybackMachine to see if Elm-Chan pages are archived, and Wayback refuses to cooperate, claiming a "robots.txt" block.

It is.  It's on its way to become approved as an offical standard (RFC).

Draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-legally-restricted-status/

The reasoning behind it: Why 451?
