Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran
Pulled out my 45s today to count them so I could buy enough mylar and acid-free sleeves to rehouse them all.
I don't even know where to start. What a trip down memory lane.
Have I ever shown this shelf before?
Everyone on it was either bought secondhand or given to me as a gift, except for the frog on the upper left (she was from a crane game)!!! The shelf was bought secondhand too!!!!
Names below the cut!
I'm that guy from The Piano Teacher who won't stop showing you old paintings of the instruments in my collection.
Most of my fantasies are about software optimised to harvest, tag, and organise fun shit I find online, or shelves.
Is it fair to say piracy=preservation argument is dishonest? In what particular cases is it true?
Piracy is preservation. That is 100% true. If you've even casually followed Doctor Who you'd know that many of the original run's episodes would have been lost forever if it weren't for bootleg recordings, due to the BBC's policy of purging its internal archives. The old BBC radio program The Goon Show (which would later inspire Monty Python) was likewise almost entirely purged and had to be recovered through home tapes. In the medium of video games, many companies have flat-out deleted the source code for their old releases and trying to port them to modern systems is only made possible through ROMs (which again, are mostly available through piracy.) I could go on. People are dishonestly trying to claim that piracy is not preservation by just accusing pirates of wanting free stuff. Which is also true, but is also irrelevant. Piracy is still preservation even if people aren't specifically pirating for archival reasons.
