He might be referring to the audio at the Internet Archive Console Living Room. The game selection is great, but the audio is scratchy and intermittent on most games.
Ah, okay. As it happens, too, some of these servers are way off in corners of the world where people aren't
quite as concerned about stuff that's still technically under ©. ;?)
BTW, in case you didn't know: When copyright law was instituted in the U.S. back in the 18th century,
the original period was 14 years. It was never intended to prevent new works from becoming freely accessible parts of a country's culture, but to allow the creator and his beneficiaries a reasonable length of time to profit
before that took place.
Over the years, corporations methodically used their political power to have the copyright period extended, to increase their profits.
Finally, in the late '90s, the Disney Company realized, to their horror, that Mickey Mouse, which was created in the 1920s, was about to go public domain. So they called their Washington lobbyists and had the law changed once again. Creative works now remain under copyright for 90 years
after the creator's death. This means that nothing created during our lifetimes will become public domain till well after we die.
Make your own judgments. :?|
