ooohhh the irony of an anti-piracy rap being called "Don't Copy That Floppy" when floppy disks nowadays are a near-completely obsolete physical media type that is quickly degrading and becoming completely unreadable due to the magnetic signals on the disk breaking down over time resulting in the loss of that same copyrighted media because they're not being copied... copy your floppies guys. it might be the last time you'll ever get to, and you'll thank yourself afterwards.

your daily reminder that piracy is good and helps preserve media if it weren't for media piracy and copying stuff then many pieces of lost media would probably still be lost companies don't care about media preservation especially not when it's media from 20-30 years ago stuck on an obsolete and dying disk type please for the love of god copy and backup all of your physical media media preservation piracy is cool piracy is preservation lost media floppy disks floppy disk backup your stuff

hi after the Internet Archive and Vimm's Lair takedowns i conclude that copyright laws are legitimately a plague upon humanity's history, media that isn't being sold anymore should be free for all, and copyright enforcers should be held at the same standards as landlords (scum)
