    Instead you could stop making shitty movies and reheating successful recipes. And stop inventing three new streaming services every week.

    What about a meta streaming service. One subscription for everything and companies get paid by the share of the views their shoes shows (I’m not that interested in the shoes to be honest) had. Maybe make your own fronts for your services if you insist, but everything is accessible through one subscription.

    I’m so tired of getting shit on by corporations to later read I’m the problem. People are sick of this shit. Stop being assholes and people will happily pay for your content! I want to pay for things I enjoy, but I just cancelled Netflix because they suck so fucking hard.

            It’s ok to make a 1:1 copy of the rental car without depriving the company of the car in any way

              So a writer spends a year of his life writing a book with the idea that he can sell copies for $15 each so that, if he sells enough copies, he can make that year’s time worthwhile. But you think it’s okay to just make a copy for free since he still has his original?

                Yes. I was never going to buy it anyway. He didn’t lose anything. At least this way, his art is consumed and discussed, potentially generating a sale. BTW, you are absolutely wasting your time here with me. I obviously have a very different perspective on this than you do. You’ll have to either accept that, or become increasingly frustrated that your arguments fall flat with me

                Edited because I realized I wasn’t in the piracy community

                  At least now we’ve gotten to the common understanding that it is theft, but you just don’t care. I personally think copyright laws have been good for our society because they’ve allowed people to live off of creating art. You obviously have a different view.

                  I’m not at all frustrated by the conversation - it’s like discussing car registration or driver’s licenses with a SovCit. In fact, it’s pretty much exactly like that. It’s interesting for me to see how you rationalize your view, but I don’t expect you to change your mind.
