    I had no idea the suit was focused on a project to preserve 70-100 year old 78 Records… a medium almost entirely lost to time already. Shame on the studios!

    While this mode of access is important, usage is tiny—on average, each recording in the collection is only accessed by one researcher per month.

    Like come on there is no profit here, it is literally just for the public benefit and so that we can learn from a deeply important era of recording before the recordings literally turn to dust.

      Yes, but if the public were to benefit from free things too much, they might consume less paid content. Worse, they might realize that realize that non-profit enterprises are a better investment than for-profit ones. We just can’t have that.

    That’s the nicest “quit your bullshit” I have ever seen.

    I had heard of this through headlines and didn’t realize it was about 78’s only until right now
