For future digital archives pirated material is a really good thing! Most commercial distribution of modern media usually has protection in the form of Digital rights management DRM. That means that libraries and archives cannot copy, convert and preserve the media information. With pirated material digital archives can do their work. Thus what is not legal and bad right now, may very well be looked very favorably upon in the future. I do not defend piracy in general and think that creators should be paid. Also do current digital media services even compensate artist and creators fairly? Most artists cannot live of income solely from Spotify they need todo concerts.
