I do. I create software. And I love open source, sharing my work. But that is beyond the point, you seem to put forward the idea that enforcing preservation and archival takes away the creation from the creator. It does not. And as I said before, it is already done for print publishing and as I think also for movies. So it isn't a new or revolutionary idea. Just stop pretending that preservation somehow takes away from the creator, it doesn't. |
We will have to agree to disagree. I believe in ownership. If I create something I own it and I can pass it to my kids. Nobody has the right to demand I turn my creation over regardless of the reason. But to each their own.
And this next comment is not directed at you but a general comment... I would wager a great many people here don't mean preservation as in the games are locked in a vault for historical archives... what they really mean is games online for free that they can download/emulate. Just my 2 cents, but I'm not buying the cover story from most in this thread. Again, not directed at you.
