I’m genuinely impressed by this being upvoted here. Big tech and powerful corporate/government interests are destroying our societies. This information needs to be checked and tracked.

Piracy is data preservation after all. How many books, series, TV shows, and video games would be inaccessible if not for pirated copies?

Definitely can’t rely on companies to archive their own stuff effectively.
