dasgrueneblattInstalled and started the ArchiveTeam Warrior. Very smooth experience. It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.I took the "ArchiveTeam’s Choice" project and it chose public telegram channels. It's not taking a lot of bandwidth or memory or space or computing, as far as I can tell. It might take too much of my time and focus if I continue staring at the dashboard to try and figure out what all that stuff is. <a href="http://warrior.archiveteam.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://warrior.archiveteam.org/</a><a href="https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@internetarchive</a><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiving</a> <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/internetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internetArchive</a> <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/DataRescue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataRescue</a> <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/dataPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dataPreservation</a> <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/digtitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digtitalPreservation</a> <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/archiveTeamWarrior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiveTeamWarrior</a> <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/archiveTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiveTeam</a>

Matthew Rimmer'On Thursday, music labels sought to add nearly 500 more sound recordings to a lawsuit accusing the Internet Archive (IA) of mass copyright infringement through its Great 78 Project, which seeks to digitize all 3 million three-minute recordings published on 78 revolutions-per-minute (RPM) records from about 1898 to the 1950s.If the labels' proposed second amended complaint is accepted by the court, damages sought in the case—which some already feared could financially ruin IA and shut it down for good—could increase to almost $700 million. (Initially, the labels sought about $400 million in damages.)' <a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/03/music-labels-will-regret-coming-for-the-internet-archive-sound-historian-says/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/03/music-labels-will-regret-coming-for-the-internet-archive-sound-historian-says/</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#copyright</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/litigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#litigation</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Internetarchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Internetarchive</a>

Jon HancockMy own Cliff Edwards Project, an attempt to create ukulele songsheets for all the songs Cliff recorded, relied on the Internet Archive for a number of the tracks. The truth is, they are not commercially available anywhere. I own every collection of Cliff's recordings that I know of, but a huge number of those old 78s have *never* been issued in any format since their initial release. Every fire, house clearance, accident and estate sale sees old music lost, recordings becoming rarer as individual examples are destroyed. If these songs were really so valuable monetarily to the big labels then you'd think they might want to make them available for people to buy, but no. We should cherish and fight for every effort to keep older music alive, for us to enjoy and for future generations.
