RIP old websites, flash games, pictures and videos like moonman

if their lawyers are still willing to sue I'd say it is caring

God damn this can’t be happening.

>if a game publisher has no plans on rereleasing all their old ass ps2 and ps1 games then i consider that not caring.

Fucking idiots. If they were getting in trouble for PS1 discs I am willing to bet that the game publishers would not have jumped straight to a lawsuit.

This is just modern book burning. Why are they so intent on destroying everything that remains of the old internet?

2020 is gay, i hope the yellowstone volcano blows up and kills us already

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

Because you can't rewrite the truth to suit your ends unless you make it unavailable to anyone else.

So make archives of those too? This is the video games board

way to put confirmation bias to words like this

Didn't this whole movement to cancel the Internet Archive literally start because of Cuck Wendig whining on twitter about it?

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll grab art books, strategy guides, and radio shows.

they had been fine for years but they did something stupid recently that put crosshairs on themselves.
Can't remember what it was but it was dumb.

some people don't want you to find out what they said and did in the past, pic related

The lawsuit is about lending out books for free if I recall correctly. They allowed free rentals during this covid period because libraries are obviously extremely closed and money is tight for people, and that allowed those who bitch about piracy a way in to sue. It's not really book burning so much as greedy fuckers demanding their shit is only available in certain places. I doubt they even give much of a shit about the rest of IA going under, this is solely about money.

"Intellectual property" does not exist and its enforcement violates physical property rights.

I guess I could start downloading shit but I’m gonna need help

Remember to grab artbooks. Any links to any besides these?:
