Personally, I encourage people to do some actual flipping research about film preservation and its\' relation to piracy, so that they realize that No, pirates are rarely media preservers.

This is similar to the aforementioned Abandonware phenomenon and public domain. The latter of which is to release it into the public domain for anyone to enjoy and preserve after nobody can truly claim reasonable ownership of it anymore, and the former of which tends to be for borderline unplayable games and media (because of TechnologyMarchesOn ) made by companies or people who no longer support them or have died. These things are more or less commercially unsalable overall, and so you don\\\'t really hurt anyone with active interests by spreading it around.

*ACTUAL* lost films and other media tends not to be done by pirates, but by the legitimate owners or custodians of the piece (like India\'s PK Nair) who actually have a vested interest and knowledge in keeping it preservable. Which is the reason why the *actual* partially or completely rediscovered films are NOT from people whose great grandaddy stole from the film reel rooms, but from the actual legitimate archives.

Quote;
In Liverpool, it is extremely offensive to make jokes about Scandinavians (unless they are self-deprecating ones). Then again Liverpool people were descended from them, so it makes sense. Do not do so in Crosby, Formby or Southport, where over half the population is descended from Swedish, Danish, Icelandic or Norwegian peoples.

Errr... I\\\'ve never heard of this. Is it possible, do you think, that somebody (identified as Sifr1889) has deliberately inserted a piece of meaningless incorrect nonsense here, either to troll, or to test out how rigorously TVT checks its facts?
