"Piracy preserves what capitalism can't be bothered to."

Love that sentence, and I agree with your points that these pieces of media are available not truly "lost." I don't hold anything against studios/publishers not wanting to invest time to make niche ports/emulations available, especially when it won't make them money.

Just so long as they stop going after emulation software, and pirates hosting old games that are not being sold anymore then I'm fine with it. Otherwise, big publishing companies and I have a problem.
