- tjwds 9y agoAwesome collection! Putting on my digital preservation hat, I'd be interested in learning more about where the original scans live and why they're watermarked (could be something to do with how old the site is?) It's great that the site is backed up by the Internet Archive, but I feel like this collection could be better served if the original scans were added to the IA as well.
- nsxwolf 9y agoIt's hard to really enjoy the images with the watermarks.
- rdiddly 9y agoI want to tell them "get over yourself."
- moron4hire 9y agoMaybe you get over yourself. You have no right to tell people what is important to them.
- vermooten 9y ago+1 not sure why they bothered, they're hardly Getty Images material.
- huehehue 9y agoPeople bother with watermarks so their images aren't stolen and used for profit: https://petapixel.com/2017/11/27/netflix-stole-vhs-cassette-photos-stranger-things-boxed-set/ https://petapixel.com/2017/11/27/netflix-stole-vhs-cassette-...
- khedoros1 9y agoI think that the other commenter's point wasn't to ask the purpose of watermarking in general, but why the site bothered watermarking these images, given their small dimensions and relatively low quality.
- heywire 9y agoWow these designs bring back some memories. As a kid I probably had several hundred cassettes, some pre-recorded, but mostly recorded from the radio or copies (remember high-speed dubbing?). I used to ask for cassettes whenever we'd end up at the store (well, until I got my first computer, then it was disks). I guess I was a bit of a weird kid.
- tudorw 9y agooh boy, that one in the metal case, get's the B-Boy in me going, lay down ya sheet and get down with some breaks, anyone ?
