This sounds really cool but won't the original broadcasters be all over the archive for publishing these files? How could anyone get permission to release all that copyrighted material?
- throwaway2048 8y agoArchive.org complies with DMCA take downs (preserving it until copyright expires), lots of content is effectively abandon-ware and nobody cares enough to bother. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_work

- ghaff 8y agoVery little incremental leeway for digital content. It's much more that relatively few copyright owners are much interested in chasing after old TV show and news postings even if they're aware of them.
