So, I found a website with good content on it, but some of the articles were removed.

These articles were deleted in 2019, and they are not indexed on google.

The original website didn't publish these articles since then.

I could find the deleted articles in the web archive, and they are a lot.

Will I get in trouble with google or the original website for using them?

How does google know if it's not you the one who made the content in the first place and you are just reuploading your old content?
(I'm just thinking out loud)
If there won't be duplicates I don't see how this can penalize your website,
but then again I'm not speaking out of experience

One flaw I see from this is that maybe also other people could have the same idea as yours, (there're several seller who sell this as service)
so somebody else could use your content and result as duplicate, but that should be their problem.

I don’t think there would be any problem if you use those article, but to get rid of fear, you can spin those articles using a good AI based spinner such as Quillbot or WordAi.

I think I will be safe from google's side, but what about the original website? Could they file a DMCA complaint against me?

The quality of the articles will drop significantly if I spin them, I think I will just use them as they are.

u r giving too much credit to google. go ahead and use them.
 
You can rewrite them. Just make few changes and you are good to go.

If the author didn't die 70 years ago, you might even get in trouble with him/her..
But I'm not sure, if you're in the right board, because black hat is basicly the definition of doing things that can get you in trouble =D
 
@Kinu Actaz suggested the best option is to use Quillbot. I would just add that after that you check for plagiarism in at least 3 tools.
Good luck.

Extremely unlikely. Almost 0 chances of that happening. How google treats that content should be your main concern.
 
Expired articles still rank to this day
Use AI to rewrite or paraphrase important subheadings
 
If those articles were deleted in the past, then no need to worry about this.

Smart move, OP.
 
If they're not currently indexed, they're most likely not being used. Claim the content, rewrite them a little bit, and start posting.

Mostly likely, nothing will happen.
 
If the quality of the article is good, you can rewrite and use it.
 
Imitation has the limitation of commonsense. You can do that, but it will cost you nothing if you change them a bit.
