Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.

Sure, "no man sets foot in the same river twice", but that does nothing to argue against the preservation of cultural items.

Take music, for instance. I never feel the same way the second time listening to a song as I did the first time, but that doesn't make the music less special or change anything about it at all, and it certainly does nothing to advance a hypothetical argument that music shouldn't be recorded or that the recordings of it shouldn't be preserved for future enjoyment or different audiences.
