One day (communities, localities or government libraries) will again host public goods information with free access. Fighting intellectual monopoly is fighting for the return of local libraries (just the modern ones).

The absurdity that western governments fight archivists is beyond insane. They should be helping to distribute and host the data.

The half life of data is getting worse not better in the digital age. These pirates are doing the work of the public good and being vilified.

At least, assuming there is a future, they will be vindicated. Future generations will greatly appreciate finding archives such as this.
