All these lawsuits do is show me new cool stuff that Internet Archive has.

First the Streisand effect led to her home. Now it leads to her entire discography. Poor Barbara Streisand.

Yes, and please back up as much as possible while you're there. If they take it from us, we build our own Internet Archive, with blackjack and hookers.

Crazy how amazed I was by those graphics back in the day. Definitely haven't aged that well but it doesn't look awful.

Someone needs to archive the Internet Archive before we lose it

Just took a look, they have tons of live show archives! So cool!

Yeah, there aren't many Pumpkins fans left these days, but the Internet Archive still manages to have a collection that beats the Smashing Pumpkins Audio Archive from the early 2000s.

Woah woah woah. There are plenty of Pumpkins fans left these days. Damn did that make me feel old. Give us another twenty years before you issue such statements please, Sir or Madam.
