    How is there even an argument there ?? You need the internet to find work, handle tons of administrative bs etc. You basically cannot function as a citizen in most western countries without it nowadays.

    Maybe start by pricing your shit fairly and not have me pay 7 different subscriptions to watch movies that were shot before the internet existed. Not to mention that I don’t want any of my infos on your servers because you’ve demonstrated several times that you don’t care nearly as much about this data than your precious IPs, Sony.

    Also have electric shutoff for charging your phone in a business, or water shutoff for using river water. Except you clone the electrons and water molicules.

    Just feed their ip’s into ai. We can get them to regurgitate them later for free.

      Piracy site idea: Just claim it’s an AI, and if law enforcement ask, just say it’s proprietary technology.

    Ah yes copyright law - the most transparent attempt to defraud people ever seen.

    The real irony is the folks who actually create things likely sign over more than they’d ever lose to piracy to “protect” themselves from it.

      I’m becoming increasingly convinced that the only way to “coexist” with the IP legal status quo is to only patronize creative commons/public domain works.

    If a convicted felon can become a president, their argument is invalid.
