@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to learn how to ... save local copies of things that you likeYou know, I'm noticing how copyright runs counter to the need to preserve valuable creative works. There is no practical way to play many Gamecube games, yet Nintendo will roundhouse-kick your whole chest if you dare play them on anything else besides Switch Online. After all, the law prioritizes a few assholes' profits more than the cultural value of our art.

I know I will get comments about how some art is meant to die. Not to be harsh, but that's hippy-dippy modern art bullshit. There's so much value in an artwork, even if it wasn't the "artist's vision" for it to keep lasting. Many communities have revived long-dead online games, and no one wants to destroy any ancient historical artifacts.
