As for the Omni archive - I have no mixed feelings whatsoever. In part, that’s because I don’t own the content - it’s General Media’s (or its successor companies’) responsibility to guard whatever intellectual property rights they had. And the old Omni website is long gone, so I’m much happierthat the content is preserved. (In fact, I just checked, and it automatically redirects to the Penthouse site. muttermuttermutter)

Now, if someone had archived the content and then done a search-and-replace to remove the names of the original interviewers to make it look like the archiver had done them, that would be an entirely different story.

As I’ve had a running archive of my stuff on the web in one place for upward of ten years, I usually treat anyplace that has, erm, “archived” my material (which is almsot all still readily available) with some irritation. Legal action, depending on who they are! So here’s the question of the day: how do you feel about this archiving of your stuff that you were, at one time, paid to do, when the original archive is gone now? Is there some satisfaction that someone cared enough to hang on to it, or…”some irritation”?
