#Music:
So a Developer/Coder figured out a way to not just save, but archive and preserve 90s #MTV, 33,000 #musicvideos and various #MTVnews articles in an algorithm free format.
They’re probably on fedi. Someone find them so I can hype them up for no reason.

#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.'

2 decades’ worth of content published on #MTVNews.com is no longer available after MTV appears to have fully pulled down the site and its related content. Content on its sister site, CMT.com, seems to have met a similiar fate
In 2023, MTV News was shuttered amid the financial woes of parent company Paramount Global. As of Monday, trying to access MTV News articles on mtvnews.com or mtv.com/news resulted in visitors being redirected to the main MTV website.
<p>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.com site, along with its sister site CMT.com, …</p>
