Then you won't have much difficulty believing the NSA and their apologists, will you?

US Media Blacks Out Snowden Interview

Re: US Media Blacks Out Snowden Interview
#42Try searching CNN for "Snowden Interview" and there is NO mention of it. Same with MSNBC's search - nothing about this interview in the results. Also, scroll down to user "Nostromo's" counter (claiming the media did cover the story) w/links and then my reply. This kind of blatant dereliction of duty in US journalism (IMHO) presages the governments' plans for controlling the (M)essage on websites. One can only assume…
MSNBC were interviewing a US politician (congress woman) about the Snowden leaks and about NSA reform.
They interrupted that interview for some important breaking news.
Justin Bieber had been arrested for drag racing his car.
Re: US Media Blacks Out Snowden Interview
#43I highly recommend watching this interview, in which Snowden clearly explains his motives for doing what he did and describes the scope of the data collection carried out by the NSA and its allied foreign intelligence agencies. While I've followed this story quite extensively, this is first time I've actually watched an interview with Snowden, and I was very impressed with his intelligence, thoughtfulness, depth of k…
Nah, the time has passed for stuff like that. It's time to wait for a reset. The intelligent people tried to warn the rest of us long ago, no one cared then, fuck the rest of you now that it's too late. I'll only do anything to speed up the reset... and I doubt the rest of 'you' will be ready for that until things have once again gotten so bad that something else will needed for success.
#edit hellban request denied then, I guess. Thanks idiots, it's your site afterall.

What makes it more despicable: MSNBC is aggressively marketed in the image of progressive reform television.
To be clear - the US politician wasn't talking about the interview -- but rather the independent review committee's assessment of the meta data collection program.

I must say I'm becoming increasingly disappointed about archive.orgs lax copyright policies. Becoming a treasure trove of pirated material really eats its legitimacy in my eyes.
Nutrality and obstaining from censorship gives it legitimacy, in my eyes.
To each their own, I suppose.

#47It's not news because no one cares. You guys all live in a bubble where you think this is the most important issue in the world right now. Maybe it is. But, honestly, no one cares.

If Snowden didn't want limitations on distribution of his interview then he should have mandated the release to public domain as a condition for the interview. Instead he chose to give the interview to a entity willing to retain and reserve all rights, resulting limited exposure. You are free to disagree with that choice, but that does not give you right to overrule it.
edit: I might add that we already have The Piratebay as a place to rebel against the copyright system. I just feel that The Internet Archive is too valuable (as an archive of public-domain material) to be dragged down to that fight. I don't feel like it is too much to ask to keep the two segregated.

I guess they follow the usual DMCA dance, the data is uploaded by users after all.
The only thing I wonder is if they actually delete such files or hide them with a "first published on 2014-01-26, author John Doe" marker to unlock once copyright expired.
It might be easier to get hold of certain artefacts now than in 135 years (or whenever recently obtained copyrights actually will expire).
