Why streaming can't replace physical media | Tom Rizzuto | TEDxMolloy University
In this TEDxMolloy University talk, Tom Rizzuto argues that physical media remains essential for cultural preservation and resisting censorship, unlike streaming platforms. He highlights historical examples like Soviet-era 'Bone Music,' where forbidden American jazz and rock were bootlegged onto X-rays, and the near-loss of the classic film Nosferatu, saved only by the existence of physical copies. Rizzuto suggests that while streaming offers convenience, it grants immense power to a few entities to control access to art, making tangible media a vital safeguard against potential censorship and cultural erasure in our evolving digital landscape.
