I really enjoyed the November RecordDNA session. It was my first time in Westminster Hall, and I had the opportunity to ask Nick Thomas-Symonds MP, Co-Chair of the All Parliamentary Archives Group, whether he thought that records custody technology was capable of keeping his personal and medical information sufficiently intact if he were to by cryonically supercooled and vitrified in preparation for allowing interstellar colonization efforts to select colonists from our generation. His response was encouraging.
On less speculative notes, I was also able to recommend CC-BY as the appropriate default license for public sector and individually published works of authorship, how to work those licenses with authors' rights to exploit their popular work, and how to work them with the right to be forgotten. I obtained some vocal agreement with, and no dissenting views expressed out loud against, the idea that compulsory royalties should be distributed in an incidence countering the greater income inequality brought about by the consolidation arising from mass consumer copying technologies. In the 1970s there were about three times as many professional musicians, artists, mass market authors, but modern compulsory royalties schemes which do not always distribute those royalties in ways that make up for publisher consolidation and mass consumer copying responsible for the decline. There are some blog posts here: https://recorddna.wordpress.com/2017/12/08/engaging-event-in-westminster-30-nov-2017/ https://recorddna.wordpress.com/2017/12/15/nick-thomas-symonds-mp-speech-at-westminster-event/ I understand they will be summarizing all participant comments and their proposed dispositions of them some time soon on that blog.
