I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

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"!
