Exactly! This is entirely on the IA for refusing to recognize they don't have the inherent right to violate copyright at their leisure. The reason they will keep getting into this is because they keep insisting they aren't doing anything wrong.
If preservation of unprofitable content is the goal, sit down with the lawyers and hammer out conditions under which the IA can be given permission to preserve content. A good negotiator can probably even get record labels to pay for it if they think they're getting a copyright win.
The IA doesn't respect copyright to a fault and it shows and they're going to keep losing as long as they believe they're entitled to ignore it.
- InSteady 3y agoContent is not necessarily preserved for the good of humanity of no one alive today is likely to access it during the productive years of their life. Who knows what the future holds legally, politically, or more broadly. Whether they are likely to win or lose, IA is fighting the good fight on behalf of humanity. They are entitled to fight that fight, regardless of whether you think they should shrink back and stay in some arbitrary lane that copyright lawyers decide is financially irrelevant.
