I agree in 98% of cases. There are some cases (and this is splitting hairs so i apologize) where i'm fine with it. I think preservation for some near lost media that hasn't been purchasable for a long time (and maybe is tied to 30-40 year old hardware that isn't supported or buyable from the producing company anymore) i think is an exception i'm willing to make. This is particularly prevalent to older games that are tied to long defunct devices that aren't supported anymore like very old dos games.
But I'm also of the opinion those things shouldn't have to be "pirated" in the first place and if you haven't offered the ability to acquire it legally in decades it should fall into public domain.
