I just pirate everything, thats easier. I even pirate things i do have access to lol
Are you talking about this or just generally
Digital piracy had never been stealing, and framing it as such is a huge marketing success of IP holders. Stealing requires removal of property. Piracy duplicates. It is intellectual property violation, which is distinct from stealing.
Specifically “copyright infringement”; as in you infringed on the right of the owner to dictate how and when their copy is duplicated.
It sounds necessary but “I’m the only one allowed my idea” is such a problematic concept, especially in the Information Age, it’s amazing how it’s used for some of the most egregiously greedy things.
The penalties should honestly be almost nothing.
And for training AI copyright suddenly does not matter? It’s them who created copyright laws and now it’s them who made them pointless in their greed.
Copywrite like patents originally was a short period to give the creator time to capitalize on their work. It was meant to drive innovation but not stifle it with monopolization.
Then it was slowly changed from that to generational ownership and monopoly. Life plus 70 years is fucking stupid.
Thanks Disney!
This is just a slightly more complicated version of “if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing” or am I missing something?
