Jason definitely isn’t fully innocent here on the grounds stated, but if the songs were delisted when DMCA was used, that’s no different than taking an unauthorized copy off of YouTube; IA shouldn’t be held liable unless the infringement was willful.

Also, the song and extra data was obviously imaged from MySpace before 2011, so any collector would be unaware that the license had changed after the fact.

I remember when blogs were full of full albums to download, if an artist complained about their music being shared there were a few that would keep the download links but it was just a mp3 of a baby crying. They should do that with him. Anyone trying to listen to Anthony Martino on the Internet Archive would find a baby crying.
