    Don’t worry, we’re going to preserve these games anyway. Copyright means absolutely nothing in the digital age.

      “Pirates” are Digital Archivists, preserving history for all of humanity. Just in the TTRPG space alone, there are so many out of print publications that would’ve been lost forever were it not for them, same with videogames as well.
