But you can't prove that they wouldn't have either, and again, it's not really relevant as far as IP law is concerned.

Sure, but the onus is on the accuser to prove the damages.

As far as IP law, I can't even really speak on any of that because I personally have no idea about it.

Yes, but the specific case against internet archive isn't really alleging damages (from my understanding) but centers around the fact that they are (allegedly) illegally copying and distributing copyrighted material.
