I use P2P to download out of print game books (Role playing games and other) and rarely reccord albums that are long out of print. Also, I collect old DOS games (Most that I had actually purchased in the past). The stuff I'm downloading is usually at least 15-20 years old that thankfully someone scanned so I can archive it. I have pretty much a museum of old role playing game books on DVD. Most of those games are no longer around and are never going to see the light of day ever again and the ones that ARE still around are in their printed 9th or 10th edition so.. they aren't going to be doing anything with their old game from 15-20 years ago as the system is antiquated.
Someone has to preserve these things. That's what I'm seeing myself doing. I carefully archive EVERYTHING.
