How to go about sharing (was: one of a dozen threads about Cryptome)
Thoughts - All good advice in it's own way, but mostly it seems unnecessary. Aside from copyright and reprint issues, 99% of what's on Cryptome is not only open source, it's not really objectionable in terms of hosting it. TheCthulhu does a great job of distributing large amounts of data, but that's it's own thing and requires an ongoing budget and infrastructure. I figure with Archive.org I can distribute 99.9% of material and not worry about copyright, bandwidth, etc. If it turns out there's a violation I missed, the item gets taken down - not the entire site or all the uploads. On the rare occasion that there's something else, I'd rather take whatever steps are needed to distribute it then rather than try to build my own independent infrastructure ahead of time. Things to add? Holes to poke in my logic?

you may be off by an order of magnitude: 99.99% never a friction. oddly enough, i find myself increasingly interested in the delta: that which is most briefly available, follow clues of most redacted subset - onward to the verbatim origin. torrents resistant to selective censorship, however, also not amenable to re-use of public resources. in a sense, this was attempted with bigsun, able to collate across sha-256 identifier space from any origin, at any time. however, i have found those focused on contested data sets have worked out their tricks over time. and the rest don't want to touch those data pools with a seven proxy condom... best regards,
