Music labels sue nonprofit Internet Archive for copyright infringement over digitized 78s of Frank Sinatra and other artists::The labels take issue with the nonprofit posting digitized copies, which it solicits from users, of records in the antiquated 78 LP format.
We should take up a collective for archive.org’s legal battle. Id LOVE it if they end up winning this one.
Once again lawyers proving that they are one of the lowest forms of human life.
The music industry can get dysentery, those absolute scum of the earth.
Nah, dysentery is too pleasant. They can get Ebola.
Aren’t these archives protected explicitly under several points in US Title 17 Section 108? https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#108
Part of me hopes the labels keep up chasing non-profits over dead artists just to destroy any remaining public support they might have.
