Information wants to be free...

This brings up a couple of interesting questions for me:

• Firstly, is putting this archive online the best way to preserve this information for the cultural group involved? Eventually information held in websites leaks out, there is no way to protect it forever.
• Secondly, the privacy of this information has already been broken obviously. Anthropologists by their very nature come and take the information about how your cultural system works and then disseminate it as they see fit. To some extend the happy slide-night has probably already caused the damage.

If these people really want to keep their information private, then putting it online is a mistake in the first place.
(FWIW I've worked with Aboriginal communities).
