MUBI's Notebook has published an essay titled 'Pirating the Pirates', examining film fans who make authentic digital copies of cinema releases despite copyright laws. The piece portrays these amateur preservationists working against clueless, underfunded or hamstrung rights holders to keep films accessible, spotlighting a gray zone where piracy overlaps with genuine film preservation efforts.

Why now: The essay's framing of piracy as unofficial film preservation strikes a chord with film enthusiasts debating copyright and access.
