Reminded me of this comment unded a video about Homestuck (thankfully, somebody made a browser+torrent file for Homestuck itself) (tho it's more about art media, not pieces):

"""
Reading this comment immediately got me wondering if that kind of thing could ever have happened in the past, but it doesn't really seem possible before the internet. Every type of medium before the digital age would have had to be physical, and thus could be replicated by anyone with the right materials. If an archeologist discovered a previously unknown type of audio record, it wouldn't be difficult to recreate the technology and make new ones. But there's only one internet. If it changes in a significant way, things that relied on old systems simply can't exist. (as seen with Flash)

I don't know how to feel about the fact that humanity created a system which has made it possible for mediums of art to go extinct.
