It’s only piracy if you distribute it, otherwise it’s just format shifting.
I use the word “archiving” because it’s a universally understood concept that even survives translation.

People don’t even realize anymore they’ve adopted corpo speach. They’re getting told it’s “professional”, “neutral” and all that jazz. Especially the “neutrality” bullshit, perfect breeding ground for manipulators to plant nonsense. And we all know all those corpos perfected the art of mass manipulation to the point they employ whole departments to do it and pay politicians to dance by their fiddle.
Notebookcheck.net tries to report “neutral”, and it fucking shows.
