intellectual property was invented by disney to monopolize centuries-old folk stories
Over The Rainbow, as sung by Judy Garland will not be in the public domain until January 1st, 2034
Sharing is caring, that's what my old man used to tell me that's what
Sharing is caring
That's commie propaganda, actually. If you truly cared you would act as selfishly as possible.
Your old man sounds like he’d be down for a block party contraband double feature
Morality is real if we make it so, just as intellectual property is. Difference is that making morality real gives us a guideline on how to act in our lives, while making intellectual property real helps enrich media companies.
Maybe if you're the one collecting/distributing material for people, but there's nothing specifically "morally good" about consuming stuff. You're not some kind of caped crusader for wanting something for free instead of paying a company for it. Especially if society was structured differently.
Don’t you commies start bringing the labor theory of value into this!
What does this mean if one doesn't have special access to materials or technical expertise to create distribution systems? Making sure to seed torrents for as long as possible?
I mean I guess running a torrent thingy works, but the people doing any kind of "good" are people who actually contribute pirated materials, like uploading random documentaries and things someone has to YouTube. Or being one of those people who goes and sees a movie and records it (lol), because they're making something (usually entertainment) available to at least a couple people who can't otherwise afford it, which you could see as legitimately morally good, especially since it risks punishment.
Yes the Somalis are absolutely justified in striking against international shipping who have spent years polluting and destroying their only source of livelihood (fish)
This letter of the marque entitles me to your dubloons, Spaniard! :ukkk:
