Jim,

You would have to mention press releases as your example of important information that is often not archived properly! The copyright issues related to press releases are not as critical since they have been produced specifically for the purpose of being republished by news agencies. I am more concerned about people who freely copy articles from formal publications, messages written by other people, and other electronically published items. These are proprietary in nature and are the property of the people who wrote them (or the corporate entity the people work for). Copying and reproducing them online is essentially republishing someone else's work. Providing a link to their original publication is not a problem as it involves no copying, just a pointer.

I agree, though, that much valuable information is lost as sites and documents disappear. Electronic publication is becoming an enormous headache for librarians who fulfill the role in society of archiving and preserving knowledge in all its formats.
