While reading this I realized that the first impression for 'Pirate Archivists' that I was exposed to were the bums in Fahrenheit 451 who memorize books so they can't be burned.
I never realized that was my first true introduction to piracy. Really enjoyed the write up!
- totetsu 4y ago200 years ago the Grimm brothers collected tales that had been memorized and shared for generations in the German oral tradition and made them into a book of fairy tales. 70 years Walt Disney made some animated movies based on these fairy tales. Today sharing a copy of Cinderella is Piracy.

- justsomehnguy 4y agoI have a problem with Disney's > claimed ownership of in perpetuity but I don't have a problem with labour and skill - D. paid for that labour and skill. Awfully low and abusive, but just like every other corporate, especially in USA.
- chatterhead 4y agoIf Disney gets to renegotiate it's licensing rights with the government; the original authors of work claimed by Disney should be allowed to, too. But, that concept exhibits a "should" attribute of fairness so obviously it's illogical and ridiculous.
