If you don’t know about The Internet Archive, you need to go to their website. It is an awesome project that is attempting to Archive all media. That’s right ALL media; every movie, tv show, peice of music and literature. As of now the project is being held back somewhat by the DMCA. I saw the guy that is the head of the project speaking about it on C-SPAN and it got me psyched about the whole thing. His idea that we have “universal access to knowledge”. It is a very great undertaking that Brewster Kahle and his fellow librarians are going through to do this so make their efforts worthwhile and check out the Internet Archive.
