On: Music labels will regret coming for the Internet Archive, sound historian says

[TylerE]

By not hiring dumb people who flagrantly and obviously violate the law.

[dredmorbius → TylerE]

Appeasement has done nil against copyright absolutists.

[TylerE → dredmorbius]

It getting sued out of existence is not appeasement. It’s literally following the law. That is how non profits that wish to continue to operate do things.

[dredmorbius → TylerE]

What alternatives to legal actions / the judiciary do you suggest for copyright reform?

The legislative approach is thwarted by the copyright lobby. The executive has neither will, interest, nor power.

[TylerE → dredmorbius]

The mission of the Internet Archive should not be "copyright reform" but maintaining the continued availability of data it is legally allowed to host.

[def13 → TylerE]

Then which organization is better positioned and able to push for copyright reform in your opinion?

[TylerE → def13]

That would entirely mean what you mean by "copyright reform". If you mean the typical crypto anarchist data hoarder everything should be free and open after 5 minutes sense, or anything close to it, frankly I don't support, so my answer is to route such ideas to /dev/null.
