Literally on the website:

Welcome to… New Management. This domain was purchased openly via GoDaddy. We come in peace (and with a wallet): we’d love to also purchase the rights to the former site's content to help revive the infinite. Until then, everything here is new & unique. Old content rights owners, please reach out. Anything is possible.

It sounds like the old owners allowed their domain ownership to expire. So someone with an interest in keeping it alive bought the domain and threw up something similar, since they didnt have the original. They are trying to reach the original owners to enable them to host the original content.

No... They came with their wallet, and are attempting to purchase the rights so they can monetize it. They'll put ads all over it.

If they just wanted to preserve it, they'd hold the domain and keep it pointing at the original server and offer to give the domain back. They want to preserve its fanfare but they want to own it.

There's nothing peaceful about this.
