Another lawsuit against Internet archive sigh
Can mfs stop attacking the internet archive im so tired of this shit
I’d suppose owners/main team would be annoyed AF as well.
Those companies are such a drag for human society because they are afraid of their bottom line. the Music Industry and Amazon also would have burned down the Library of Alexandria if they had deemed it worrisome to their profit.
And theres still no proof that every download truly is a lost sale. It’s all just make believe.
I think it’d be completely unrealistic to think that there are no lost sales…whether or not the amount they’re losing is actually meaningful would be a better question…
I definitely understand this take but there are a lot of things that I would have never watched if I hadn’t torrented it. Many things I do want to see more of I pay for of course but a lot of it I would just never have viewed or listened to in the first place.
It’s definitely somewhere in the middle. I agree there’s definitely a good number of cases where the person downloading also wouldn’t have considered it otherwise.
The Internet is rapidly being ground down by all these companies.
And it sucks because the Internet is meant to be for everyone or at least that is what AJ from Fairy Odd parents said!
These records should have been in the public domain many years ago. Copyright law needs a thorough reform
But there is no money in that, please, think of the corporations! /s

*logs onto Soulseek instead*
We don’t talk about Soulseek
And once again it’s due to Internet Archive going beyond its mandate to be an archive of the internet, and instead trying to become a more blatant form of Pirate Bay.
I really hate these litigious publishers and copyright has gone way too far, but this is not be the fight that Internet Archive should be picking. It’s going to get itself destroyed and take a vast quantity of irreplaceable data long with it.
I see the copyright holder of a book asking them to take it down from years ago. No response from internet archive. Feel sorry for the guy and I stopped donating to internet archive since then.
You’re absolutely right. Archive.org don’t need to fight this fight.
Just wondering, but if you digitize 78-RPM records, what is the actual difference between them and the digital copies existing on other websites? Just that they’re the original recorded copies?
They probably sound slightly differently, and have more historical value to them. I just digitized my grandfathers cassette collection, because it was his, and are a different experience (because of how cassettes sound).
