Thordros, to piracy in Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains - Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.

Oh my God, that’s disgusting! Illegal streaming services online? Where? Where did they post those?

I don’t know anything about Linux, but I believe they merged with the Yutani Corporation in 2099.

Thordros, to piracy in I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

You can hardly blame Valve for a country’s currency collapsing.

Not to say that Steam doesn’t have some tremendous issues on this front (it does), but I truly wish more companies understood this. If you let me play / listen / watch your thing on whatever device I choose, for a reasonable one-time price, in perpetuity, I will pay that price.

Ten bucks for a Witcher season? Sure. A fiver for the latest season of Glup Shitto’s Starred War Adventure? Yeah, I’m in. I’m not gonna pay $180 a year to five different companies each to watch six or seven new maybe great but probably mid TV shows.

Same goes for games. I’m not paying $80 plus a $40 battle pass every year to play Call of Duty 2: 3: War Crimes Boogaloo, Part 5. I’m just gonna steal your shit. I will not feel bad about it in the slightest.

Thordros, to piracy in I have received a copyright infringement alert, what should I answer?
@Thordros@hexbear.net avatar

You quietly comply. Then take tougher security measures to protect yourself before continuing. Do not respond under any circumstances. If you’re served with actual legal papers, retain an attorney.

It may shock you to learn that countries exist outside of the US, and they have different laws. Notably, Germany (the place in question) has copyright enforcement with actual teeth.

Thordros, to memes in The Modern Worker Enjoying His Liberty
@Thordros@hexbear.net avatar

I’d be fine with four to six hours a day of work. As long as I get to take a nap in the middle. And leave when the real work is done.

Thordros, to memes in Sure. Why not. Anything goes.

That’s a good point. Let me amend her post:

Only the US and America Jr. will kill 20 percent of a population, establish a right wing military dictatorship in the south, and paint the democratic and progressive north as an evil regime worse than an absolute monarchy.
