A true flaw is to wait until everyone can get hold on these things (when copyright expires, or whatever) and then start working on preservation. By that time nothing will be left, just the pirated images because those were easy to copy. Not a nice vision! A true flaw would be to argue about how to do the things and do nothing while, every few days a working (and in some cases the only) copy of a game is practically elminated. Just like we destroy our wildlife though not caring about their future, we'd do the same with our very own digital heritage. No offense intended, but I guess you can probably see our perspective now. :) Jump... #15 Kid X Top Previous comment Next comment bottom List of all comments to this article (continued) Comment 15 Kid X 12-Apr-2004 17:33 GMT Comment 16 Meehee Moohey 12-Apr-2004 23:30 GMT
