Moral and legal implications of rehosting blogs for preservation?
(forums.hexed.press)
Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.
My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:
Tricky, because some people take down blogs because they no longer want anything to do with it. Are you going to resurrect things against their will? What about dead people? What about their relatives? All of that before we're getting into copyright and profits (for which I have much less regard).
I think once you publish, the cat’s out of the bag. You can take it down on your end but I don’t know id there’s some right to force others to destroy it too. I think the digital world twists this a bit but, in an analog sense, if I clip something out of a magazine article and, some time later, the author retracts it. That had no authority on me if I want to reference it in an article that I write.
