Big record labels claim to be helping musicians by destroying the @archive.org !

We organized a letter with over 500 musicians who are speaking out about how this couldn't be further from the truth:
Rolling stone magazine cover with caption ' Kathleen Hanna, Tegan and Sara, More Back Internet Archive in $621 Million Copyright Fight. Over 300 artists signed Fight for the Futures open letter opposing the major label-led litigation over the Archives preservation of 78rpm records

Don’t underestimate the importance of independent libraries and their right to archive, hold and lend books and other media. Greedy corporations and political agitators follow selfish plans to destroy sources of free information. Fight! www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/dema... #internetarchive
Demand big record labels drop their suit to destroy the Internet Archive
