People against piracy fail to realize that no, I canāt just ābuy it.ā They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. Theyāre barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. Itās scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: itās exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ācopiesā of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we arenāt allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I canāt pay to own it, I wonāt pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
I hope the kids growing up on today's internet are still getting to share that experience of finding some out-of-context AMV featuring an implied narrative of characters they know nothing about and having it become a keystone of their brain forever
