At least I read this only as "by default you are granting all users permission to do whatever you like", then you can restrict the access rights according to next part.

I'd guess there are still plenty of stuff to backup even if some artists/performers/bands use more restrictive licensing.
- firegrind 9y agoOne of the reasons I prefer Soundcloud is that it's trivially easy for me to enable listeners to download tracks for free.
- nextlevelwizard 9y agoI am sure whatever Archive Team downloads that is determined safe (enough) will end up on Internet Archive for everyone to enjoy. They have all kind of neat stuff there that you might not even think to preserve, like old super market announcements. You can easily spend an evening just rummaging through it if you are into older stuff.
