I agree, but I will gladly accept a defaced, buggy, badly-cracked game 
over a near-perfect preservation effort that was never carried out due 
to lack of access to the materials.

Obviously none of us on this list feel that pirated games by themselves 
are sufficient for preservation.  I don't feel the previously referenced 
article was damaging; it is a call to arms for people who can at least 
pirate things, which is better than nothing.
