Okay to keep it short (deleting 4 paragraphs of stuff) I take the
stance that the IA will at least be able to dark archive any material I
upload, it's the public facing bit a company might take issue with. If
they do, despite the fact it's dubious if captured footage could be
considered any kind of infringement or that it is even damaging (it's
not like you're able to play the game) it'll be dark archived I guess.
Pretty simple, lucky we haven't got any <a
href="http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=Final%20Fantasy%20AND%20collection%3Agamevideos">Final
Fantasy</a> material, eh Squaresoft? (crazy guys I think! I saw Video
Games Live, and it had fanart for the Final Fantasy sections!)<br>
<br>
So, send anything you have in! More the merrier, the very small amount
of companies who'd take issue with archiving of their game material can
be dealt with in a case by case basis. This is kinda what the IA does
already, according to this <a
href="http://www.archive.org/details/metaverse_u_conversation_lowood_kahle">nice
discussion</a> where Brewster Khale explains how the IA operates with
legality and archiving material (with Henry being a slight opponent of
this).<br>
<br>
Good luck on writing your white paper material, I know I need to crack
on with mine too.<br>

paper done before Christmas as I JUST got my tickets to Japan (Dec
26-Jan 16). If it comes down ot it, I may be able to help edit Section
3 while I'm in Japan, but I expect to get most of it done the next two
weeks (I ALSO have to get my paper done for Albuquerque!).

<div>Also, we are allowed to upload videos to Internet Archive of
intros and trailers? I thought some companies didn't like uploading
footage for legal purposes (Squaresoft, for instance, will sue anyone
who tries to distribute FF cutscenes).<br>
