Youtube is the wrong place for this sort of thing, unfortunately. Archive.org is the right place for it.

True. That or something like a Peertube instance.

Or even better: "that and". No reason to put all eggs in one basket, no? Especially when copying virtual eggs is so easy.

archive.org is good for public domain content, which this clearly is not. The right place for this would be offline tape archive.

What do you think happens when you upload captured TV-content on YT?? From copyright point of view there is not really much difference between 20 day old content and 20 year old content, its all equally protected. Just saying that the intent is "archival" doesn't change anything

Yup, YouTube is probably the worst platform for archival. But isn't The Pirate Bay actually a Swedish site?

Youtube banned the archivist Jeff Quitney a few years ago. This particularly stings because a lot of wikipedia articles still cite and link to videos he uploaded.

You can find (most of?) his videos here now: https://archive.org/download/Jeff_Quitney_me

You would think youtube would be fine with public domain content too. But this is not necessarily the case. Besides copyright strikes, youtube will also take videos down because they contain controversial content that advertisers don't like. They don't evaluate videos in the context of the video being old archived content representing old values from a different era.

Particularly, I believe Jeff Quitney's channel (which was mostly old aerospace videos made by the US government, but was generally for whatever old film he got his hands on) got banned because some of the videos were old political propaganda which expressed views which are now verboten.
