Preservation is a totally different subject. It's an ongoing challenge that is nothing new, and something librarians and archivists have made an entire profession out of.
Although these days, preservation is actually astonishingly easy for end users who store media in major clouds like AWS, since the cloud providers take care of eternally ensuring redundancy and re-copying data to new hard drives as soon as old ones fail.

- crazygringo 2y agoI was originally responding to the person who said: > All part of the plan for everyone to have to repurchase all the content they already own. Again. If you're arguing that you want to repurchase, then I don't know what we're talking about anymore.
