C-Span Posts Full Archives Online

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 16, 2010 @12:59PM from the but-no-perl-libraries dept.

An anonymous reader sends word that C-Span has completed its project of making all of its footage available online. "The archives, at C-SpanVideo.org, cover 23 years of history and five presidential administrations and are sure to provide new fodder for pundits and politicians alike. The network will formally announce the completion of the C-Span Video Library on Wednesday. Having free online access to the more than 160,000 hours of C-Span footage is like being able to Google political history using the "I Feel Lucky" button every time,' said Rachel Maddow, the liberal MSNBC host."

This just won't do. Free video for the people? What sort of compa... country do you think this is? Hopefully Obama's media pals will set this straight and have this valuable IP properly secured and protected by the DMCA.

Try accessing a site with half a browser, get half a site. Guess what, flickr is useless when you disable images too.
