   I fact, you are right and we should go further and try to include as much   
   of the content as possible. This would protect against sudden paywalls,   
   orwellian changes to the article and makes quoting for discussion easier.   
   Also feelsgood.jpg to pirate it. Hate to say it but many subreddits are   
   already essentially doing that for the reasons above.   
      
   We should also decide on a prefered image, file and video hoster for use   
   here. Though posting magnet links is propably best.
