I'd just like to point out that the SA Let's Play forum has rules explicitly stating that all LPs deemed sufficiently awesome will be archived, and it's an opt out program. So yes, permission was given for the Let's Play Archive to archive Boatmurdered.
Regardless, people like Sarack saying 'cry some more' are pretty dazzling examples of why I'm against this: It's rude, immature, and generally disrespectful to the community.
Edit: Sarack, for someone claiming everyone but you in the thread doesn't know what they're talking about, you pretty much missed the entire point of my post. Let me summarize, again: Regardless of legality, it's still a really dick move to go out of your way not to ask permission. It's excluding the people who originally made the thing you so cherish from the 'eBook project'. Is it really such an unbearable Herculean task to fire off like, a dozen emails and actually contact members of the community?
Edit: Looks like I was incorrect about the LP Archive, and it is in fact opt in. This means that the originators of Boatmurdered wanted LP Archive to host it. Perhaps if you asked them, Quintin, they'd let you make an authorized copy as well?
