CAPS Update : Comment 10 of 16 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Fiath on 12-Apr-2004 10:17 GMT | @Jerry: Thanks for your support!
@Kid X: Preservation is *exactly* the right word: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=preservation. Not only that - there are numerous high profile preservation projects (i.e. commercial, academic, or govenment based) around that do not preserve things publically. It doesn't make it any less preservation.
But that is not really applicable here, since many of the disk images are indeed available as quite a few CAPS contributors have shared them as I said before. They are just probably hard to find. Also, many of the games developers we have spoken to have the intention of providing the images to the public. So you will certainly see some around eventually.
If you really want the games you own preserved, just dump them for us and (assuming they are not damaged or modified) we will send you the authentic disk images when they are available. After all, you have a right to have a digitally preserved copy of the games you own (actually, it is more complicated than that - but this is generally true).
There is no other way that we can do this. I think most people accept that this is just the way it has to be. We believe that are work is far too important to risk over copyright disputes. So, we do everything we can to stay in line with current legislation.
I hope you can understand why it has to be this way - but believe me when I say we are trying to change things on a grand scale... |
