Fragility of Archives

Archives need at once a guardian and a localization
Derrida, Archive Fever

• Fragility is inherent in the archive as form
• Digital storage does not transcend the need for physical space & safe keeping

Real Politic of server location

If you post or comment material, post material to the Website, post links on the Website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Website (any such material, "Content"), You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content... By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

• the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party...
• the Content is not pornographic...

Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, David Morley has the right (though not the obligation) to, in David Morley's sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in David Morley's reasonable opinion, violates any David Morley policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of the Website to any individual or entity for any reason, in David Morley's sole discretion. David Morley will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

• The archive's guardian & localization determine permitted content
• Even in decentralised networks, server owners have the final say on inclusion/exclusion

Physical storage

The question of land refuses to go away.
Hakim Bey, Post Anarchism Anarchy

Eben Moglen: "in my pocket; break down my door"

• the question of hardware refuses to go away
• users must have physical guardianship of their servers

Distributed storage
