Some people say piracy is theft and I’m just like: 🙄

I’m surprised he hasn’t been imprisoned for copyright infringement. Using pirated schematics for a repair bussiness surely would’ve triggered law enforcement to shut him down, wouldn’t it? Or is this somehow bypasses DMCA because of the first amendment? I don’t know how laws work as I’m not a lawyer

I think I’ll be pirating until the economy gets better. And I don’t mean wall street, I mean when the average person get paid enough to have extra money for entertainment stuff. Aint nobody gonna pay for a netflix subscription every month or $70 for a game that could still have bugs, people got food to buy, bills to pay.

You want less piracy? Simple. Just give people a higher quality of life.

Lol fuck winrar. 7z is better, free and open source.

The secret ingredient is crime

What did you expect from pirates?

I wonder what would happen if redditors just start ignoring rules… 🤔

Huh, I thought I changed the display name. So the federation is still broken…

I mean r/piracy is running on borrowed time, might as well use its last moments as a redirect.

Ahh yes. I can run a few more chrome tabs.

If the copyright holder dies before the copyright term is up, it goes to the public domain. Someone tried to argue with me once that this would lead to artists being killed so people could get out of paying them, but I’d counter that the instances now of artists being killed so someone else can inherit their copyright is basically zero so I don’t really see why it would go any differently the other way.

Um yea… I don’t like this idea. I rather just have law that sets a time where upon publication, a timer starts. The term of the copyright should not be depedent on the health of a person. What if a writer die like a week after publishing a bestseller that would’ve made millions? Their family shouldn’t be deprived of the money just because the writer has bad health.

But all your other points seem reasonable.

Fear not! We will soon have autonomous drone insects (ADI) that will take its place. Surely, it wouldn’t be hacked and be used for nerfarious purposes, right? Right? 🐝

It’s not piracy, it’s surprise acquisition.

Beehaw, its your time to shine! Show 'em what you got inside your admin toolbox!

So copyright for books but not movies, tv shows, or games??? What makes books so special that they deserves copyright but movies don’t? 🤔

Yo ho haul together, Hoist the colors high.

I mean, honestly, the US isn’t that bad when you compare it to the entire world, it’s only when you compare it amonst other developed countries, that you find it very low tier.

Good luck moderating reddit all by yourself, Steve.
