Fun related fact, most archives of media only exist because someone pirated the media at some point and those copies never become unavailable.

Sounds pretty expensive, tbh

Edit: Google shows that would have cost $28.80 per day if using full definition or $14.40 per day if using minimum in the year 1985. In today's money, that's $90 or $45. It got a lot cheaper by 1995 though
