    which I explained in the part of my comment you left out.

    Pardon me. Here is the part you left out:

    It cheapens the endeavor

    You’ll forgive me if I can’t seem to scrape enough detail about your argument out of that.

    Piracy fully supports the endeavor of archiving. The motivations of pirates has nothing at all to do with it. Archiving springs from piracy, it is a consequence of piracy. And the corporations you are de-facto acting as defense counsel for here have proven over and over again it means less than nothing to them.

    But I’m making assumptions about your argument, because apparently you think “cheapens the endeavor” is a real mic drop.

      It supports it about as much rightwing fuckbois shouting “FREE SPEECH” every time they get in trouble fully supports the first amendment. It’s a dishonest shield by people who want free shit and have no intention of doing anything remotely like archiving/preserving. And as I’ve said before, I don’t care that they want it for free. I just don’t want to hear bullshit excuses.
