I learned it's the so called "pirates" that will preserve history and keep the legacy alive. How can you pirate a game that can't be bought under any circumstances (IE: Round 42 for DOS), and almost never be found, and was virtually forgotten entirely over time?

Exactly. Sadly, a lot of stuff was actually lost to the Internet when some sites were taken down. Underground Gamer is probably the best example.

yep

piracy actually keeps some things alive and well.....but nope lets sue the shit out of those guys, make 0 money, and bury the "item" forever.

if we've learned anything it is that, while it is on the internet, it can be indeed be on the internet forever, but it is also just as possible that the internet will one day lose the "item" forever.

I think this is also why some of us have so much porn backed up because that shit gets lost eventually.
