      Some #GoodNews from the #FreeMusicArchive. Details are sketchy, but what they can tell us for now is that the site will *not* go down on Dec 1. Uploads are still suspended for now, and their collection is still being mirrored by #Archive.org, which is good anyway. #WatchThisSpace

         The #FreeMusicArchive report they have been acquired by a camera rental platform called #KitSplit, and will resume normal transmission in the new year. Kudos to the KitSplit crew for stepping in to keep the #FMA alive:

            In the short term, this is definitely good news. But in the longer term, it could be good or bad news, depending on whether Kitsplit are more of a #BeWelcome or an #AirBnB:
