> imaginary American property

Well, your country is consuming it, it doesn’t seem very imaginary…

For sure, people who pirate are helping archivism. Similarly, people who murder are helping stem climate change.

That being said, I agree with most of your statements and concerns. I probably don't weigh them quite as highly compared to creators interests as you do, but I appreciate that you are invested in the issue.

I think it'd be very reasonable to have an institution responsible for archiving you could submit works to (maybe must in some cases?) I know in the us to register a copyright you have to submit the work already, though I would guess it could be the work with drm included. Seems like something in that direction could satisfy archivism without needing to resort to piracy.
