A RAW repository, The Internet Archive and OpenRAW

Posted by timothy on from the awesome dept.

Stan writes "I just read this in the OpenRAW mailing list, OpenRAW plans to create a RAW repository, a final resting place for RAW file documentations of current and already abandoned digital cameras. The RAW repository will be hosted in the Internet Archive, which describes themselves as a digital archive of the Internet and other cultural artifacts. And they have all reasons to support OpenRAW, they currently photograph billions of book pages with cameras and store them in RAW format. Unfortunately the camera makers think different (which is not always a good thing)."

    DMCA? Surely this is doomed unless the server is hosted somewhere out of reach of the US jurisdiction.
