https://perma.cc/contingency-plan https://perma.cc/contingency-plan looks nice but how is it enforced? How can we be guaranteed that this will happen. I have heard enough shallow promises torn apart when the grim reaper came to a web service so I have zero trust.
Why not publish the full database continuously all the time? Openly licensed, freely available.
edit: "Perma.cc users will now be able to create up to 10 links per month". That's very very little.
Typos: "preseve phsyical"
- JackC 11y agoThanks -- typo will be fixed on our next push.[1] There's limits to how open we can be with data, because the service is used for e.g. court opinions that aren't published yet. But for public links we're working on API, Memento endpoints, Internet Archive mirrors, etc. -- it's definitely something we're thinking about. Re: sustainability (and account limits), as you can tell we're not trying to maximize growth here. Quite the opposite -- we're opening up access only as much as we feel we can support for the long term. It's a free service and there are no promises, but it's run by the Harvard Law School Library and isn't a short term play.
