I once put a ton of effort into tracking down episodes and information of a random Spanish Telanovella I caught on the Spanish channel once. Including recording and digitizing episodes.
I don’t even speak Spanish at all at the time, the show just seemed interesting.
I’ve lso converted a bunch of old Zines from a UK school to PDF because a musician I like was involved and the only copies were behind some weird paywall magazine site. Bunch of print screens and a script to crop double pages to single pages then merge them together.
Maybe I should try putting them somewhere like archive.org.
The problem is connecting the people who have the files with the people who want copies. I have some weird stuff I’m sure someone might want, but no way to know who.
Oh sweet child you have a rather myopic view of the weird shit pirates find and their willingness to data hoard.
"What do you mean I should* remove data?? I might need this! " - definitely not me

Please do. The more copies that are spread, the less likely a given work will truly vanish from humanity’s history.

I once found a bunch of the old Disney Nazi propaganda cartoons, wonder if they are still out there
Lololol! I forgot to /s. I’ve been a pirate all my life, son.
I knew someone who had multiple seasons of both Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow!
But I also probably know someone who has Thanos and Fast and Furious.
