[game_preservation] Library of Congress Wants to Preserve Video Game Culture

[Andreas Lange]

Thanks, Jason, for the interesting news. I expect that it will not last 
very soon and we will see similar activities here in europe.

i have one short question: the report starts with:

"A recent Library of Congress strategy meeting with leading producers of 
commercial content in digital formats has revealed that creators of 
television, radio, music, film, photography, pictorial art and video 
games are keenly interested in the preservation of their digital 
materials for archival and other purposes."

does that mean, that the initiative comes from the content industry? and 
i also wonder if anyone of the game business attended the meeting?

best wishes and thanks,

andreas
