As #piracy is an act to preserve art, "indecency" that violates #AntiNormie patterns is an act of preserving #FirstPrinciples of #RadicalHumanism.

Let's face it, we wouldn't have many of the first episodes of Doctor Who if people didn't bootleg it.

@kinyutaka @paninid @hannu_ikonen bootlegging is also the only reason copies of the original Star Wars still exist.

See, it's not immoral to hoard thousands of episodes of TV on a hard drive. It's archiving.

@kinyutaka @paninid @hannu_ikonen the key to archiving electronic content and keeping it available for future generations is to have as many as possible copies. It is a favour to humanity.

Working on it. I really started to download in earnest when shows started to get pulled for tax write-off purposes.

@hannu_ikonen @kinyutaka @danderzei @paninid if a purchase isn't ownership, piracy isn't theft
