Yeah I'm a huge pirate but I also have subscriptions to publications, buy a bunch of games, buy music and even have almost every release from a few labels, go to concerts as much as I can. It's not about the money for me at all
We should call it archiving instead of piracy to be honest.
Great idea! It's up to us to preserve culture, we can't leave it to those only motivated by profit otherwise cultural history will be lost when it becomes unprofitable.
And since we're not coordinating, I'd better make sure I preserve the bits of culture important to me.
Eternal archival format shifting.
Better yet, let's call it "arrchiving"!
