There’s going to have to be a reckoning on intellectual property in the context of cultural preservation in the near future. BitTorrent and DC++ are the only avenues in the world for significant amounts of artifacts.
Or, you know, not.

As physical production of digital media ends, there will be no history except what we take from them.

The lack of options to watch most movies made pre-VHS gives us some indication of how this will all pan out. And it’s not pretty.

There’s lots of things I’d like to buy digital copies of but the market is too small to justify the legal costs. I can name hundreds of tunes that’ll never appear in streaming services.

I'm hoping it goes the abandonware route that classic software's taken. If rights and licenses are so convoluted that it's either not known who can - or not worth it to those who own it to make something available legally, hopefully legal enforcement will be just as low-effort.

There should be licensing statue of limitations and the content should then become public domain.

hell, I just want SCOTUS to declare "hands off" in the Oracle (Sun) / Goog API war - if you can't have a "well known name" for an interface w/ a commonly accepted list of params w/ a contract for expected behavior our entire industry will hear a great flushing sound...

I’m in favour of preservation, but also, historically, isn’t like 99.99...% of *everything* lost? Songs, stories, paintings, buildings, oral history, entire languages and cultures.
It’s not a new problem. It *might* be new that it feels like we *should* be able to preserve more.

constant change in hardware / software + licensing & DRM challenges is going to cause a major loss of data as they get tossed onto the digital midden heap. This is why hackers and technophiles are vital. Legal is not always "right" "ILLEGAL" isn't always WRONG.
