Certain porn authors burn their freely-released work as part of an attempt to become a professional writer, sometimes in an attempt to start selling that work and other times due to wanting a public image "untainted" by porn. We have quite a few threads here that have had their story posts removed as part of this practice.
Is it against the rules to link to archived versions* of this work? (Asking because some people might consider this piracy.)
Furthermore, if it is permissible, does posting a link to an archived intact version of a story count as a "significant contribution" to dead threads that have had their story posts burned? Certainly, it would greatly increase the amount of story accessible in said threads from "zero". (Yes, I want to piss on some of these people's "QQ graves" by making the threads they've disembowelled contain access to their work again.**)
*Snapshots of free off-QQ sites, as QQ's NSFW section is not crawlable.
**NB: I get that you don't really like people posting stories that they didn't write without permission; I'd be sticking to links.
