#KathleenHanna, #TeganAndSara, More Back #InternetArchive in $621 Million Copyright Fight

Over 300 artists signed #FightForTheFuture's open letter opposing the major label-led litigation over the Archive's preservation of #78rpm records

by John Blistein, December 9, 2024

"Kathleen Hanna, Tegan and Sara, and #AmandaPalmer are among the 300-plus musicians who have signed an open letter supporting the Internet Archive as it faces a $621 million copyright infringement lawsuit over its efforts to preserve 78 rpm records.
The letter, spearheaded by the digital advocacy group Fight for the Future, states that the signatories 'wholeheartedly oppose' the lawsuit, which they suggest benefits '#ShareholderProfits' more than actual artists. It continues: 'We don’t believe that the Internet Archive should be destroyed in our name. The biggest players of our industry clearly need better ideas for supporting us, the artists, and in this letter we are offering them.'

"Palmer, in a statement shared with Rolling Stone, says, 'It’s an ironic gut punch to musicians and audiences alike to see that the Internet Archive could be destroyed in the name of protecting musicians. For decades, the Internet Archive has had the backs of creators of all kinds when no one else was there to protect us, making sure that old recordings, live shows, websites like #MTVNews, and diverse information and culture from all over the world had a place where they’d never, ever be erased, carving out a haven where all that creativity and storytelling was recognized as a critically valuable contribution to an important #historic #archive.”
