A very important part that i elided here for effect is that it's actually not true that pirate systems have no ego or reputational incentives. They are actually *vitally* and sometimes *suffocatingly* driven by social incentives because **archives are fundamentally a social process.**
See Martin Paul Eve (npub1qk4…fwdn) 's fantastic work [WAREZ](https://archive.org/details/punctum_warez-the-infrastructure-and-aesthetics-of-piracy ) that is the only academic work i know of that captures the social culture well,
or see Oliver Payne's "the Art of Warez" which is a very good historical depiction of the culture as told through .nfo art, demoscene music and keygens: https://vimeo.com/341663153 (mirror uploading now)
part of embracing p2p is embracing how it is **made of people** and that's a strength, not a weakness.
