Who is doing the preservation in your world if not 'everyone'? Every individual party has things they'd rather not exist, so the only way to ensure media is preserved is to just make lots of copies among lots of parties.
- taeric 3y agoI appreciate the idea, but I assure you that the vast majority of media that people hold on to are tossed when they die. To that end, I'm very much in favor of enabling and strengthening libraries. Note that I'm also not against letting people build up these collections. I don't share in the romanticizing of building up giant collections of media that you still don't own. Yes, you can sell the media to someone else. No, you don't have any real ownership of the story or contents. And with how hard preserving digital media actually is, few are doing a good job preserving those.
