Music labels sue nonprofit Internet Archive for copyright infringement over digitized 78s of Frank Sinatra and other artists::The labels take issue with the nonprofit posting digitized copies, which it solicits from users, of records in the antiquated 78 LP format.
Going to find Sinatra discography, specifically 78s, to DL just to spite these a*holes. I don’t even like Sinatra that much. Thanks, Streisand Effect.
Piratebay seems to have it, probably because of this news.
I’d hate to lose the internet archive… we need archives of stuff… getting an old bit of hardware to work can be a nightmare when the manufacturer is gone or has deleted all reference to it . Then you find some kind soul has uploaded just what you need to the archive.
I wish more people knew about IPFS – a content-addressable, persistent filesystem. It’s a peer-to-peer system that can offer durable backups to important info. Of course I’m a hypocrite as I realize I haven’t been running my IPFS node lately due to upgrades… off I go to fix that.
