The Grateful Dead and Archive.org

Disappointing to hear about the challenge that archive.org is having keeping Grateful Dead content online. Cory Doctorow had a post about it on Boing Boing. Indeed, the Dead were the most "Open Source" band that we have ever seen... maybe John Perry Barlow could get the EFF to fight the "good fight" with this.

After Jerry Garcia passed away, I noticed that there were suddenly a lot more Jerry Garcia ties in the stores... I always wondered what the deal was , and now I think that maybe his estate is a bit greedy and released a bunch of designs that he wouldn't have released had he survived.
