LW database download?
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to offer a download of LW or at least the sequences and Wiki. In the manner that Wikipedia is providing it.
The idea behind it is to have a redundant backup in case of some catastrophe, for example if the same happens to EY that happened to John C. Wright. It could also provide the option to read LW offline.
I support this idea.
But what about copyright issues? What if posts and comments are owned by their writer?
I would argue that one cannot own the information stored on the computers of other, unrelated people.
I support this idea also. I actually intend to make a service for uploading the content of forum/blog to alternate server for backup service, but who knows when it will happen.
