SVT is public service TV in Sweden. SvtPlay their online streaming service. Lots of opinions about SVT (as there should be, it’s public!) but if you ask me, it’s super high quality and it’s something that I’m very proud of, as someone from Sweden.
I just wish that I as a Swede living abroad could watch the Swedish language content. It's not like På Spåret is going to be sold abroad anyway.
5 dollar/month VPN. NOT BLOCKED BY SVTPLAY KK.

I don’t know specifically about På Spårer, but it’s not unusual that they licences the idea and format of the show, and that’s why they only are allowed to show it in Sweden. That doesn’t explain why my kids can’t watch Beppes Godnattstund while we are abroad though.
For non-swedes, this is a show about a old guy who lives in a bed with a bunch of little girl dolls who need to go to the toilet all of the time.
This type of archival work is very important for us interested in current & recent culture (This probably is all of us in some sense).
There's so many cool archival efforts going on that unfortunatley seem to rely on youtube.
As a nostalgic swede, i found this one recently.
Its a mad ** archive of all of the early underground swedish hiphop.
Unfortunately, we are still relying on a couple of companies as the main custodians of our recorded history. This can't be good and we'll keep receiving sad news about content vanishing from the Internet from one day to the other.
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
> Just saying that the intent is "archival" doesn't change anything Well, it sort of does because copyright laws have carve outs for libraries and archiving.
That's before you even get into issues of Youtube's aggressive compression

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

As a first step, I wouldn't mind it if countries generally adopted a system where anyone in the world could simply pay for access at a rate comparable to the public TV tax.
The obvious downside of this system is that it would be expensive for certain networks (sorry Norway TV fans) but it would get the ball rolling.

Is there any reason to suspect it's something besides the person behind the content requested their domain be excluded? Or IA behaving as they legally should and always have?
I really thought BitTorrent would be the _de facto_ solution for data archiving at a planetary level. I thought dusty old computers would sync and store volumes of data across generations. Recorded history would be safe; it could even be checksummed for its integrity if needed. Unfortunately, we are still relying on a couple of companies as the main custodians of our recorded history.

Sadly, we often seem to learn of a treasure trove of content when it makes the news for having already been taken down.
