Ah, there we go. Thanks.

Huh. Based on the community this was posted in, I can assume that the answer the video comes to is “yes” and not watch it. But according to Betteridge’s law of headlines the answer is “no.” I need to argue about this without watching it but I don’t know what stance to argue about.
Ah! I’ll use the Orbit plugin to get an AI to summarize the video for me. Hm. The AI-generated summary says the video describes an anecdote about music copyright violations, talks about some ethical considerations about both music and software piracy, and then:
The speaker concludes by acknowledging the complexity of the issue and the importance of considering the perspectives of all parties involved.
So I guess the answer was “Maybe?” How am I supposed to have a pointless Internet argument about “Maybe?”
Bah. Someone attack me for using AI, at least that’s a debate I can sink my teeth into.
No, how dare they do that while simultaneously carrying a precious archive of irreplaceable data with them.
A guy who goes to fight an armed mugger is a hero. If he’s carrying a baby with him while he does so he’s an idiot. Take the baby to safety and let someone else do the risky heroics.
The recordings, featuring historic performances by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, have been made freely accessible to the public to “ensure the survival of these cultural materials for future generations to study and enjoy,” according to the Archive.
Which ironically (and predictably) may end up causing those cultural materials to not survive if the music labels win the lawsuit and crush the Internet Archive.
They do great work, but they really need to learn how to choose their fights better. Their archives would be safer if they were less eager to tilt at windmills unnecessarily. Let the EFF do that.
You used the wrong word for “two early!” Worse than Nazi!
