Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Ex-BBC archives staff. They have had an amnesty in place for decades. They will let you keep the recording if you wish, they just want to make a copy. Any serious collector would know this. The article is quite dreadful, Franklin the main interviewee has criticized it apparently.

Any source to this? Sounds reasonable but then one reads only about BBC being evil...

After all, for a "Broadcasting Corporation" it should be easy to leave some pointers somewhere...
