Thus, physical media take on an essentially political role as the basis for samizdat, for the preservation in private of what’s neglected or suppressed or destroyed in the public realm, be it through mercantile vandalism, doctrinaire censorship, or technological apocalypse.

What an excellent concept, and it even has a name: samizdat. I feel like I've uncovered a little piece of history.
