  1. A quotation from Maria Popova

    Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.

    Maria Popova (b. 1983) Bulgarian-American essayist, author, critic [Мария Попова]
    Post (2012-04-30), “Orson Welles: A Rare 1960 Interview,” The Marginalian
