Thread Name: morality of collecting
Subject: RE: morality of collecting
The recordings and records that we've been discussing here are of great musical and historical interest, but they aren't commercially viable any more. It will require substantial expenditures of time and money to turn them into either CDs or downloadable music files.
It isn't likely that many of the albums would recoup the costs incurred in this process, let alone generate profits--Now, they belong to history, and will ultimately have to be handled and managed as artifacts.
