When archive.org (#waybackMachine) is down, it’s like ~25% of the web is down for me because #InternetArchive is what enables me to reach #Cloudflare sites (which are access-restricted).

TIL that the #InternetArchive has a **massive** collection of scholarly articles from #PubMed (209k+ and growing)! https://archive.org/details/pubmed

Also, just a lot of scholarly articles in general. It looks like it all has full-text search too.

I watched my first #Santo movie last night — Operation 67 — and, evaluated against other b-movies at least, it had a lot going for it, not least the no-nonsense attitude of Santo. He doesn’t talk a lot of shit; he only says what needs to be said. And when he fights, he punches, kicks, and throws. No martial arts, no technique, nothing fancy. I instantly liked him. #cinemastodon #InternetArchive

The more information is free, the more opportunities for it to be collected, refined, packaged and made expensive,” said Stewart Brand, the technology visionary who first developed the formulation. “The more it is expensive, the more workarounds to make it free. It’s a paradox. Each side makes the other true.”

Music Labels Sues Internet Archive Over Digitized Record Collection

With the #InternetArchive in the news these days, I was reminded of Siva Vaidhyanathan's book Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens Creativity (2001). Among the topics he covers is the origins of copyright law, including the famous Statute of Anne in 1610.

In some respects, far more enlightened than what developed in the last fifty years. Finite exclusive rights to print and the need for a work in a public domain.

i really need to get my old cringe stuff away from the internet archive because i don't want future to see what did i do in the past but archive isn't really active on email and i don't really want it to get removed because of the origin of most stuff, so i have a question for you: "should i not pay attention to the archive or no?"
