Comment on Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection
medborgare@lemmy.world 1 year agoCould they still keep the content but not have it available to the public until it enters public domain or copyright laws are improved?

That would have been the legally defensible move. But if this case goes through, they’ll be liable for past damages, which would bankrupt them.
IMO, this project of digitising/streaming old records should have been done under a totally separate organization from the get go, because of how risky it is.
