    Indeed! Just not a very good one.

    And yeah It’s crazy the stuff that’s becoming unavailable over time. Luckily music is a little more preserved and available than a lot of film

      Yeah, but you gotta learn to love the bomb. After they stole my laptop and backup drive (only had 1 backup, silly me), I became disappointed in local storage. When they killed liveleak, I knew the adage ‘the internet remembers’ was hollow and only the short-term memory thrives, if that.

      From what I gather, hoarding music, movies and newer tv shows for preservation is unnecessary, but if you come across an old TV casette recording of a broadcast TV show, digitize it and upload it to Anna’s Archive.

      Good luck honing your hoarding skills. I too prefer local copies. Who wants to sit through buffering?
