Crazy how pirates used to be like the most reviled people but now they are the only ones preserving media for future generations.

@beardalaxy That's because theft and digital "piracy" are very different. One deprives people of what they own, the other simply gives more people access to it.
The internet is a nearly no scarcity environment where people can share things as much as they want.
The only ones depriving people of what they desire are the people combating the "piracy" instead.
@Arkana @beardalaxy Actual high sea pirates are still reviled plenty and executed if caught. I've heard, but can't confirm, that US is one of the few countries that doesn't execute them.
Also, speaking of digital preservation, here's a pic from one of the official 2hu manga.
