Corporate power hates public libraries. They want corporate ownership of culture that they did not create and in perpetuity. Available only on a pay per play basis.
Fuck them. We will go back to trading vines if we must.
I know the name rolls off the tongue easily in music circles, but the internet Archive is extra-important because it is also an archive of our times.
The digital part of our cultural history has been lost to a great degree --- think of the thousands of web pages that you've read that no longer exist for various reasons. All that important content (both fact and fiction) gone forever...yet digital is considered a forever media. Sadly ironic, huh? The Wayback machine is one of the few ways to possibly track that stuff. Is preserving history considered copyright infringement?
"How many unused websites are there?
There are about 1.13 billion websites on the internet in 2023. While there are 1.13 billion websites in the world, only a fraction of these are actively used and updated. A staggering 82% are inactive, meaning only 200,121,724 of the 1.13 billion websites are actively maintained and visited."

Somebody should organize a torrent project to keep all of archive.org freely available on a massive P2P network. Fuck Sony, et al.
