I think apart from the chilling effect on self-expression faced by this and future generations the main problem is when the goalposts change so risk assessments made at the time of writing/printing/posting based on the expected circulation and lifetime of the material are no longer valid faced with the wayback machine and google books. So much of what was posted in the early years of the Internet may now be regretted, and so much that was written and printed in the 60s and 70s may haunt the authors if it makes the transition from atoms to bits.
