> Information should be free I'm sick and tired of this misquote; as it was merely an observation of trends, and was never meant to be a moral maxim or mandate . If you truly believe information needs to be free as a moral mandate, share your company's source code first.

#72Anna's archives is possibly the greatest site ever. Infinite love to the team <3
Kind of... the fact that they have the actual data behind a "soft" paywall (waiting times and terribly slow transfers otherwise) makes me a bit skeptic of their "goodwill".

If efforts like this are to be sustainable in any lasting way, participants need to be cooperative, not parasitic. I agree with the Anna's Archive team, it serves noone to have one of these players in the space hoarding their own collections and not sharing them to other archiving projects, it make the collection extremely vulnerable and at risk of becoming lost knowledge as time goes on.

I actually didn't know there were more error codes beyond error code 429
451 is kind of a novelty code, its meaning being related to Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" SciFi novel.

> On the one hand you have—the point you’re making Woz—is that information sort of wants to be expensive because it is so valuable—the right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information almost wants to be free because the costs of getting it out is getting lower and lower all of the time. So you have these two things fighting against each other
He stated later more succinctly:
> Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. ...That tension will not go away
