A coalition of major record labels has filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive—demanding $700 million for our work preserving and providing access to historical 78rpm records. These fragile, obsolete discs hold some of the earliest recordings of a vanishing American culture. But this lawsuit goes far beyond old records. It’s an attack on the Internet Archive itself.

This lawsuit is an existential threat to the Internet Archive and everything we preserve—including the Wayback Machine, a cornerstone of memory and preservation on the internet.

At a time when digital information is disappearing, being rewritten, or erased entirely, the tools to preserve history must be defended—not dismantled.

This isn’t just about music. It’s about whether future generations will have access to knowledge, history, and culture.

People buy things they don’t need in a healthy economy, even when they’re not doing great. In an unhealthy one they do things like boil socks for supper. (Yes the book is taking about a real thing)

Good luck, Scamazon. You’re unlikely to survive a real depression so it’s pretty braindead that you’d encourage it.

He doesn’t care about that. He’s literally a selfish toddler in a decrepit old man body, he cares about himself exclusively. On top of that he’s got zero capacity to plan ahead in any meaningful way, so if doing something gets an immediate result he’ll do it.

Thank you

Well if that isn’t just *incestuous as hell.

I guess he made enough money renting his son to Tump.

Pressured? Steve probably gleefully offered to suck his dick in exchange for Musk acknowledging his existence.

Look, the quiet part, right in the open.

Yeah he’s screwed then.

Felon Musk

It would only work if he owned the code and the company stopped paying. There’s lots of precedent for that.

and a Boston man was arrested for slapping stickers of Musk making a Nazi-like salute on Tesla vehicles

Better have him taken out back and shot, right? 🙄

Good to see people taking “information demands to be free” seriously.

That’s where you lost me. Not for now, for good.

Sorry guys. I couldn’t help it.

They’re not mutually exclusive.

If small dick energy had a face it would be Steve Huffman’s.
