Youtube is the wrong place for this sort of thing, unfortunately. Archive.org is the right place for it.

  True. That or something like a Peertube instance.

    Or Odysee

      Just found this site not long ago. I like the old youtube feel with new interface.
      • RajT88 4y ago
        The content skews a little more fringey though. But otherwise agree.
        • aliqot 4y ago
          I don't know what the recommendations are based on but I get a lot of "Start a business easily" type motivational videos and IT related content. Which ones are you seeing?
  • vanderZwan 4y ago
    Or even better: "that and". No reason to put all eggs in one basket, no? Especially when copying virtual eggs is so easy.

    Archive.org should operate a peertube instance.

  archive.org is good for public domain content, which this clearly is not. The right place for this would be offline tape archive.

    You would think youtube would be fine with public domain content too. But this is not necessarily the case. Besides copyright strikes, youtube will also take videos down because they contain controversial content that advertisers don't like. They don't evaluate videos in the context of the video being old archived content representing old values from a different era. Particularly, I believe Jeff Quitney's channel (which was mostly old aerospace videos made by the US government, but was generally for whatever old film he got his hands on) got banned because some of the videos were old political propaganda which expressed views which are now verboten.

    The IA hosts lots of non-public-domain videos, including loads of rare ripped-from-VCR material. Copyright status rarely is an issue unless a copyright holder finds a specific video and makes an explicit DMCA claim against it. And even then, nothing is ever really deleted, just non-visible, for now…

  Youtube banned the archivist Jeff Quitney a few years ago. This particularly stings because a lot of wikipedia articles still cite and link to videos he uploaded. You can find (most of?) his videos here now: https://archive.org/download/Jeff_Quitney_me https://archive.org/download/Jeff_Quitney_me

    There was a Danish church organist I came across on YouTube, who had worked his way through pretty much every Danish hymnal/school song book, and many Swedish and Norwegian ones too. He'd been at it for years. Then suddenly he was gone. I assume one too many of the songs he'd played must have had been too recent, and got copystriked. It's pretty sad that even marginal, plainly non-commercial work of an archival nature isn't left alone.

      > I assume one too many of the songs he'd played must have had been too recent, and got copystriked. I bet whatever songs got him banned were in the public domain, but ContentID thought it sounded too much like a copyrighted recording of the same song. This sort of thing happens all the time to musicians who upload themselves playing classical songs. It's infuriating.

This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine. No reason or explanation given, or hint at who excluded it.
  • RajT88 4y ago
    To be clear: I'm not suggesting he archive a youtube video using the Wayback machine. (Does this even work?) I am suggesting he upload the files directly.

    For those of us at home, Taylor Lorenz is the niece of Roger Macdonald, creator of The Internet Archive's "Television Archive".

    Is there any reason to suspect it's something besides the person behind the content requested their domain be excluded? Or IA behaving as they legally should and always have?
    • pannSun 4y ago
      Yes - the Archive's refusal to provide a reason. They don't get to have both the privilege of opaquely excluding content, and the assumption that all exclusions are for the most faultless reasons.

  A personal archive is a right place, with some file-sharing service to share...
