    I use the word “archiving” because it’s a universally understood concept that even survives translation.

        fun fact, Mr. Rogers testified at the Supreme Court to save format shifting, in a landmark copyright case:

        “I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off-the-air … they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ … I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”

        the Court agreed with Mr. Rogers and cited him in the majority Opinion.
