Isn’t that the logic that runs most of the world

Mentally or physically?

Some people are just not that self aware and some people live in such closed little groups of people that they reinforce all their identities no matter how strange they are to someone on the outside. I live in northern Ontario in Canada and we’re considered pretty bland and simple up here … you could say we still have a lot of pioneer hold over from our older generations … because people like me can still say that I lived with my grandfather who was in the first world war and that my parents were born in the bush.

Anyways, I’m also friends with people in the south of Ontario which has a culture that is more Americanized and they live and believe in a whole different lifestyle and ideas that are far different than mine. Sometimes I’m made to feel like I’m talking to someone in the year 2100 and I’m stuck in 1990 … not that they’re smarter, they just think they’re in a better world than where I’m from. And in the rural areas, I feel like I’m talking to and looking at someone from Texas than from Canada.

I don’t think they’ll enjoy going down 4 km in the mid Atlantic.

That’s like saying you’re a prisoner that just got freed, on the surface of the moon.

I’m all for piracy but I still try to spend money where it morally makes sense to me.

I’ll buy, rent or subscribe to content from actual creators or artists or developers if I know I am supporting their livelihoods or careers.

I’ll pirate content if I decide for myself that the content has already paid for the livelihoods of the creators or workers who produced the material and now it’s only the title holders and corporate interests that are profiting from the ownership and entitlement of controlling the content for commercial reasons only. For me this is mostly just big budget movies, old films and commercially produced music.

To me, anything that’s already paid to help the original artist or creators should be made public. Locking it away and making people pay for the privilege of the content just to make more profit for someone else is piracy itself. This is especially true for films and music that are so old that the original artists and creators and owners are multi millionaires or just no longer exist.

I may be wrong but that is my own personal view of collecting digital content.

A dollar at a time … I’m willing to give or donate a dollar, two dollars or even five at a time … if we all did that with a popular creator, they’d easily be able to reach a lot of money in a short time.

I donate to wikipedia, Open Source Software projects I use, firefox, thunderbird, ubuntu (although I am getting skeptical about this one) and other linux projects … on top of that I send funds to creators, app developers and lemmy instances and other fediverse projects and those people who maintain the software, servers and communities in the fediverse

In all, I probably spend about three or four hundred dollars a year or more to these projects … but I know that for the majority of them, the money is going to people that need it … not to people who just want to add to their wealth after never contributing anything of value other than their ownership of someone else’s work.

And if we all did this as users across the board … these small content creators would have more than enough to sustain themselves and continue creating and maintaining these projects
