Listening to an Internet Archive podcast and the last episode informed me of this initiative for libraries and memory institutions to endorse this set of four rights as policy guidelines: https://ourfuturememory.org/#rights

It bugs me to see "controlled" access in the phrasing, as I tend to look for words I fear can be used to justify more finance-capitalist exploitation (e.g., DRM), but I hope for the best, as much as I can.

@resl I'm very frustrated with the Internet Archive's interpretation of "controlled". So often I look for a book and find something owned by the Hathi Trust that I can't download. Waste of my time.

@sixohsix The podcast altogether leaves me feeling confused about the political strategy of the messaging... The episode about AI was almost disturbing because of how much the hosts felt the need to appeal to hyper finance capitalist thinking. Idk...
