for me it comes down to what it is |

omf_ |
pure facts and tabular data are not owned by anyone. The phonebook lawsuit proved that |

we crowdsource the work and then charge (make you see ads) you for access to data you helped make |

if imfdb offered something more than just facts in a basic wiki. |

and you're doing that hoping that the IMFDB isn't going to do something awful |

back in the 90s I worked on a few different gaming sites. One site sold all the content to the parent company of Sybase |

in theory I do not even own the copyright to the 200 articles I wrote |

oh, it is CC, i just meant the whole "at the mercy of the people hosting your shit" thing |

(reading scrollback) there is some stuff that is only on 8-track... but that's because it was a stupid kid goofing off with a microphone and his parents' stereo with built-in 8-track recorder/player |

I still have the stereo and tapes, but I think I need to fix the stereo first. |

there's an odd recording idea, and I wonder if I did it. take an 8-track recorder and start recording. then, press the track cycle button on some regular, short interval. |

Coderjoe |
then, after doing this for awhile, play it back |

of course, in all of this i mean the 8-track cartridge format |

"The Stereo 8 also introduced the problem of dividing up the programming intended for a two-sided LP record into four programs. Often this resulted in songs being split into two parts (the split was often made during an instrumental break or a repeated chorus), song orders being reshuffled, shorter songs being repeated, and songs separated by long passages of silence.

some mame folks were looking into 8-track digitization a while back, I recall one of the issues that came up is that the foam inside old 8-tracks that keeps the tape running smoothly has now decayed in a lot of cases, so you need to open them up and check to avoid mayhem when playing them |
