    The only thing I would (totally naively and magically) wish for is some kind of really well organized and curated time capsule mainly for movies and music preservation.

    I don’t want all the music and movies for myself, I wouldn’t be able to watch/hear it all but I wish for anyone from any time in the future — to have a simple/legal option to just dig anything out, public domain or whatever will work best.

    People have created some amazing gems.

        Well, yes. This exist — I am really grateful for that, but… This audio library now contains 15M positions. It is a big number, no doubt about it.

        Then, Spotify has over 80M files in the library with around 4M podcasts.

        Estimated existing music amount is unclear but around 90-200M and growing all the time.

        And suddenly 15M is getting somehow small in terms of preserving, and this is with music only.

        With movies I even remember some interviews with Tarantino and Nolan talking about how badly some movies are being mistreated, lost cuts, not even close to proper/safe long time storing, fires, accidents and so on…
