Thanks!

More media archives should be doing this. Wait, no, ALL of them should be doing this. MOAR!

I wish they'd actually release these properly. Lets get all of this content on Archive.org, under a public domain license, and with no AP watermark. Lacking this, I can only see this recent move as a crass marketing ploy to sell more licenses.
