You wouldn't download a car, unless you lost it. It came out to grab my car but it's gone. Lost Media, aka Media that has been lost. It's all over the internet. For example, it's like a SpongeBob got more PSI that's been lost. Chocolate Milk, you can absorb it for yourself. This is usually found when people are looking around old footage, finding old VHS and DVDs, old files on the computer. You usually involve cyber-radi content, and with that, piracy gets involved. Piracy is defined as the unauthorized use or reproduction of another's work. Piracy is a rampant issue online. People pirate all the time, whether it's a song, or... Put it on a chain. Bring a ding ding ding ding. Or a whole TV show. This leads to a debate within the online sphere. Is it legal and or morally correct to reserve lost media, even though it's real-blut-content? Well, I'll give you this. It's very illegal. You know what's illegal, download, copyright it, music. I'm taking you in. Any company has the right in the ability to take down copyrighted content any time. We'll be taking down a YouTube video or suing a whole website. Nintendo, for example, sued Robin Universe back in 2021 for 2.1 million for hosting ROMs, or games to be used with other emulators. A program designed to emulate a game system. There's one company that's been very prominent about taking down ROM websites. It's Nintendo. These emulators themselves are illegal, as are remade from the ground up, but these games are copyrighted content by the game developers. Some games have been lost, then found, and taken away by the copyright holder. Without resorting to piracy, which you so thoroughly despise, so you should make them available for Switch? That makes sense to me. Then do it. We currently have no plans to offer classic content in other ways and also don't pirate our game. Another is Mega Upload, which is taken down in 2012 for being a ring for viewing copyrighted content such as movies, songs, and TV shows. People could upload files of a meme from that, leaving it to rapid piracy, but allowed lost media to be shared easily. The United States State Department of Justice took it down, and George Sothe owner Kim Schmitt also noticed Kim.com and its associates are still being filed to this day. So legally it's not right, but is it ethical leaving these corporate conglomerates to control all the flow of media? I mean, follow me guys, but mosquitoes buzzing around you. Bite you on the ass, you don't go gunning for the mosquitoes' attorney. I don't think so. Ethically, it is wrong. These can take down media that they don't like after it being found. It could be a simple 5 second clip or a whole TV series. These companies have full power to take it all, even though it wouldn't affect them. For example, a show called Space Channel 5 was found as a pilot online, and uploaded to YouTube. But finally, a calm owner of MTV and Nickelodeon took it down for copyright. It is luckily re-uploaded and back on mine, but doesn't mean they can come and take it down again. It underdoes this a lot with their games, suing many, many, many, many, many places, just for uploading their games. But when one goes down, it two others come back up. If companies had their way with eliminating all lost media, we would never have the ability to see things that were misplaced. Lost or just playing gone? Most media wiki make sure that lost media is kept in attack, but one day it might disappear from these companies trying to destroy it. Hopefully one day we can pass laws, saving lost media, and keeping it preserved. Without it, we will lose many films as long as it gains it to the ether. And without it, people who search for this will lose so much.
