"Despite the immense archiving capabilities of the internet, we’re living through an age of mass deletion, a moment when entertainment and media corporations see themselves not as custodians of valuable cultural history, once freely available, but as ruthless maximisers of profit."

Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed | Zach Schonfeld

The amount of media being wiped from the internet is worrying for viewers, and industry workers who need the exposure, says journalist and critic Zach Schonfeld

I definitely regret my decision to stop collecting physical media. From tapes to BluRay, games to LP. What little I have left isn't going anywhere. Whether I add to the pile is a financial issue to be resolved at a later date.

Pirate and preserve it all, and let Hollywood go fuck itself. Sneakernet it to friends. Torrent it all. Do everything possible to grab it all and spread it around.

Profit is the only thing that matters now!!
