I'm sure it's "useful" for historians and archeologists. But it's fundamentally problematic.. like unwrapping mummies, it's fundamentally disrespecting people's wishes and exerting your will over other people's labor.

Trying to see the limits of this logic. Would you say that if you paint a painting , you should have no right to shred it ?

Text is just trivial to copy perfectly and doesn't have the intrinsic protection of other mediums

If things were archived in a artic vault to be opened in 1000 years maybe I'd respect the arguments for archiving better

Current "archiving" is steal and rehosting other people's work/labor
