During the Renaissance, this problem was tackled programmatically through a variety of specialized roles:Agree, but who? Private interests may do it, but likely to monetise it, or not be interested because there isn't a quick return. Churhes? Monasteries?
* ARCHIVISTS were responsible for determining how content would be stored for the long-haul, and built upon the ancient library science and started creating standards for preservation, categorization, and reference.
* CHRONICLERS reviewed all of the news of the ages and built abridged histories, or Chronicles, of the time, including extentive reference to content that had been archived for future generations to conduct follow-up research.
* HISTORIANS became the scholars that reviewed the chronicles and cross-referenced with what archivists, and lesser librarians, had stored, in order to produce more 'modern' retrospectives and studies on what really happened and what the impact of what happened was.
We need similar roles for the new digital age. And I am not really convinced that the Internet Archive has a true archival, chronicling, and historiographic practice for their resspective domains.

ahhhh, I will check into that!
I think the solution is custody. Who owns the information, how is it transferred. A way to transfer the public contents of a server before you decommission it. A way for people who are done maintaining their sites to simply hand it over to archivists. This would be more a cultural shift than a technological one.
There are already questions about how to handle social media accounts after people die, who takes ownership and such, and I think this problem neatly extends to the one we are discussing.
As others have mentioned here, I should retract my advice and instead recommend MakeMKV, which has the ability to rip the audio and video streams and completely disregard whatever encryption keys are in store. I had completely spaced on this, probably because it is primarily a command-line Linux application, but I believe there are GUI and Windows/macOS branches of MakeMKV that should work just fine these days.

Depending on the chemicals in question, the idea of her operating one of those might also ought to scare anyone. :)
This is a great idea! Chain of custody arrangements would certainly be in line with many of our legal and institutional practices. Could we formalize this so that the cultural shift is embedded in technological practices? And how would we contend with the evergreen economic interests that no doubt would prevail? A fascinating proposition, indeed!
Another great observation! I think you are absolutely right; there are very compatible applications between the memorialization of the deceaseds' social media accounts and the need to preserve human knowledge beyond the digital conundrum in which we have found ourselves.

The fact that she was in a position to possibly be a reactor operator ( assuming nuclear) should be enough to scare anyone.
they also have chemical reactor operators where you operatore pumps hoses, s to xfer chemicals in liquid and powder form.

Can that really be true? I would think that the physical/
streaming branch of a release would bring in a more guaranteed
inflow of cash. Some actors have opted to lower salaries in
their films for life-time royalties and are richer for that.

One of the things I liked about buying DVD's was when they offered additional commentary and extra clips and mini-documentaries, such as the making of a movie. Not sure if there is a way to encrypt the director's andI'm pretty sure you can with some container formats, have more than one audio strea
actor's commentaries into existing video formats.
DVD has multiple audio channels, so you should be able to find a tool which wil let

It is just like books. Books make most of their profit
during their commertial lives within the first 6 months of
publication of so. Then they make the rest by limping along
through the years with no glory left on their shoulders.
Why sketchy? Did you get a home-burned CD-R version? It
would be very easy to tell the difference between a
commercial CD and a CD-R.
It was a commercially produced copy. I guess it seemed
sketchy because they seemed to have other copies of the CD
by itself (without the case) that they could give to
customers to replace the one they had bought.. For a pawn
shop, I wouldn't have expected that at the time, I guess.
