Using copyright laws to take down digital archives and slopifying the internet is the modern equivalent of book burning.

Human progress slows when we lose access to the shoulders of giants and forget the lessons we've already learned as a species.

It's one of those typical lib contradictions that reveals so many liberals as the hypocrites that they are when they clutch their pearls and cry foul over the limitations on freeze peach understandably implemented by those dastardly AES countries, all while criminalizing data "piracy," equating sharing media with theft ("you wouldn't steal a car would you?"), and upholding corporate profit copyright law which has done as much to stifle voices speaking truth as the evil fictional authoritarian governments of their beloved Orwell's and Bradbury's cautionary fever dreams.

i had the cleanest copy of Joe Hill from 1971 on the entire internet uploaded onto my youtube channel. it was impossible to find a decent copy let alone one that was this perfect. after a few years youtube removed it for copyright. in the last couple years it looks like some decent copies of the film have finally emerged onto youtube which is nice but the copy i had was perfectly crisp compared to these. gonna try to get it reinstated now actually.

At least upload it to tankietube and archive.org so it exists out there somewhere, because YouTube is unpredictable and petty with copyright
