75% of 1980s video games tracked by the LGBTQ Video Game Archive are preserved and accessible in some form.

But that’s not the whole story.
25% are still at risk or unavailable.
Preservation isn’t automatic.

It takes deliberate effort to keep cultural history accessible.

When MTV News shut down, it felt like decades of culture vanished overnight 🕳️

But over 470,000 pages were already preserved.

That history didn’t disappear.
It was archived.

#KathleenHanna, #TeganAndSara, More Back #InternetArchive in $621 Million Copyright Fight

Over 300 artists signed #FightForTheFuture's open letter opposing the major label-led litigation over the Archive's preservation of #78rpm records

by John Blistein, December 9, 2024

"Kathleen Hanna, Tegan and Sara, and #AmandaPalmer are among the 300-plus musicians who have signed an open letter supporting the Internet Archive as it faces a $621 million copyright infringement lawsuit over its efforts to preserve 78 rpm records.
The letter, spearheaded by the digital advocacy group Fight for the Future, states that the signatories 'wholeheartedly oppose' the lawsuit, which they suggest benefits '#ShareholderProfits' more than actual artists. It continues: 'We don’t believe that the Internet Archive should be destroyed in our name. The biggest players of our industry clearly need better ideas for supporting us, the artists, and in this letter we are offering them.'

"Palmer, in a statement shared with Rolling Stone, says, 'It’s an ironic gut punch to musicians and audiences alike to see that the Internet Archive could be destroyed in the name of protecting musicians. For decades, the Internet Archive has had the backs of creators of all kinds when no one else was there to protect us, making sure that old recordings, live shows, websites like #MTVNews, and diverse information and culture from all over the world had a place where they’d never, ever be erased, carving out a haven where all that creativity and storytelling was recognized as a critically valuable contribution to an important #historic #archive.”

"One of the supposed justifications for the intellectual monopoly called #copyright is that it drives creativity and culture. In the last few weeks alone we have had multiple demonstrations of why the opposite is true: copyright destroys culture, and not by accident, but wilfully. For example, the #MTVNews site, along with its sister site #cmt, has just been wiped from the face of the Internet."
