If the owner were not allowed to make backup copies, would it have been better to release that album as a set of vinyl records instead of 2 CDs? I am just wondering if an analog medium would be more likely to remain useful after ~80 years

It might be that things that take more effort to produce also take more effort to consume. When readers face a choice between a well-researched 100 page article versus a short (maybe low effort) quip of 100 characters, they are more likely
