Y'know I think another possible analogy here might be the difference between a videogame and a tabletop game. Especially if we compare RPGs specifically.

It's one thing to play a computer RPG. It's another thing to play with a human GM who can reshape the story as needed and who can interact with the player in an open-ended manner.

It's master bait for people interested in the content!

Ahh, the actually-pornographic version of begging senpai to notice oneself.

Thank goodness. Have those copies resurfaced and gone into the possession of proper archivists and/or research collections?

It says we can link to top-level domains, just not specific titles. So you're probably fine anyway. (But I am not a mod.)

Yeah, I read. I don't have much sympathy for him. He sounds like a jerk.

IMO preserving the content is more important than honoring him (or, for that matter, humiliating him).

Ooh, I hadn't considered checking archive.org. Seems useful, albeit very random.

I had poked all over the megathread, but didn't know about the github repo. Thanks.

But yeah, you're right about it being a matter of luck sometimes.

Heh, more of this shit.

Remember, the only reason we can still watch the highly influential 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu today is because some people didn't destroy all their copies despite a court saying they had to.

DISOBEY DESTRUCTION ORDERS.

COPY ALL THE THINGS.

Hell, Crunchyroll was a pirate site until it converted into not being one.

What with all the stories about the companies taking pretty hefty cuts for things, I'm gonna bet that the "supposedly" is doing some heavy lifting there, heh.
