I think we need to start caring about how laws affect the preservation of data, this is ridiculous.
I wonder if you would feel that way if you were one of the artists whose copyrighted media was distributed illegally?
Well for one, piracy often helps artists by getting their media in the hands of more people, hence more exposure
Okay on some level I agree with you, but "paying with exposure" is bullshit. If I like something I'll pay for it after the fact
