However, the "Preservationist" argument holds weight here. The Library of Congress does not archive Wicked's 1996 catalog. The BFI (British Film Institute) has limited holdings. Therefore, private collectors and P2P networks have become the de facto archive of 90s adult cinema, a genre that directly influenced the mainstreaming of video technology (from Betamax vs. VHS to streaming codecs). To hold a DVDRip of Conquest is to hold a museum piece, albeit one that lives on a hard drive in a folder named "Work Stuff."
Conquest is not a perfect film. The plot is threadbare, the dialogue can be cheesy, and the production values are modest compared to mainstream cinema. However, as an adult film, it is a benchmark of its decade.
