"It's expensive, but I still want everything, so I pirated it. Seems pretty justified."
Look, I've pirated a ton in my life, but this whole "This is actually a noble pursuit" is such a load of fucking horse shit. We want something and don't want to pay the price that is required to get it, so we take it. The best part is "preserving" it, because we all know that when this guy is done playing, it will be deleted and he'll never think of it again.
Also not true, i seed in i2p
And also, leechers help in media preservation as well. The more copies there are of media, the more likely it will be preserved well into the future. Even if they dont seed now, just having and spreading copies of media definitely does help in media preservation
