What a fascinating read. I never thought of me as a music/movie/tv archivist with my boxes of records, cassette tapes, 45 rpm singles, reel to reel tapes, all kinds of stuff I came across online from the arts on storage drives. I might have to get a t-shirt or two made with the slogan "Proud To Be A Pirate Preservationist" emblazoned on them. I am sure many folks would look at the slogan and go, WTF? I am sure a number of users on this site are also pirate preservationists. Think of all the Stones and other musical stuff out there yet to be discovered.
