They aren't. They're posting just his notes. In most cases, they can't even scan the sleeve. Thanks to copyright, history will have a fabulous written record of all of the material that was completely lost.
- keithpeter 15y agoPerhaps some of the money will go to preserving the records themselves in an underground archive somewhere in London (or another UK location). My fantasy would be filling in a reader's card, descending the staircase, and reverently removing various treasures from their sleeves and cueing them up on a BBC issue record player (think heavy machinery). But, I suspect you may be right.
- dclowd9901 15y agoReading your comment just broke my damn heart in two. It's situations like copyright that make me just want to go completely underground and write applications that are illegal, unscrupulous and unethical.
- davepeck 15y agoHeartbreaking and infuriating. My only consolation is that I suspect an epic John Peel torrent will pop up a couple years after the archive goes live. Without the bits, the online 'collection' strikes me a hollow facsimile of the real thing.
