Great show in Houghton, hope you got back where you were going OK despite the snow.
Metafilter (which was down this weekend due to a phishing-haxors exploit – and now back online) posted an article from the British Library warning of “a black hole in history”, a nice metaphor for the digital preservation problems you mentioned. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1127362/British-Library-warns-black-hole-history-websites-digital-files-preserved.html

@Susie: There was, thanks for pointing it out. That’s what I get for hasty updating.

Thanks for sharing this. (By the way, is there a closing italic tag missing from the end of this post?)

so copyright is dead. it’s official. Coincidentally the music industry is having it’s worst year of sales and is still on the decline.

Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, Molly; I’m sure that the RIAA’s antics with the ISPs will provide plenty of fodder for lectures.
