The search for the Pirates 2005 archive highlights a broader issue in media preservation: the ephemeral nature of the early 2000s web. As flash animations, early HD video encodes, and promotional micro-sites disappear, crowdsourced archiving projects and institutional internet libraries remain the only way to study the marketing and technical milestones of this era.
Pirates was a critical and commercial success, setting records and winning numerous awards. It won 11 AVN Awards in 2006, including Best Video Feature, Best Director, and Best Actress for Janine Lindemulder. The New York Times described it as "a relatively high-budget story of a group of ragtag sailors who go searching for a crew of evil pirates who have a plan for world domination. Also, many of the characters in the movie have sex with one another". The film's success led to a sequel, Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge (2008), which was made on an even larger budget and continues the story. pirates 2005 archive link
