I’m concerned things like this will just be gone forever in the digital era. Paper and film are great storage mediums. I know this was on a screen but would it have still existed if it wasn’t on paper first?

Hard disks are great storage mediums when we don't purposely set fire to them to preserve the profits of large corporations. The Internet Archive is perfectly capable of preserving things, unless copyright holders manage to shut them down for short-term profit.

What are you referring to here? Hopefully not the secure destruction of hard disks.

The law's preference for 120 years of copyright instead of the preservation of culture. IA should be state-funded.

How does copyright relate to burning hard drives?
