    People like this are absurdly annoying. I knew one IRL and I wanted to beat his smug twathead face with a brick.

    It's especially annoying when people are anti piracy over unobtainable games for emulation that one is absurd and those people need their mouth privileges revoked.

    Bungiefan_ak btw is a racist and transphobic troll who's made many accounts on many different instances (check the modlog). Says a lot about lemmy.world if the pirate comms were removed because they made a snitch thread.

    Seeing anti-piracy losers is honestly shocking after so long in the hexzone.

    The only people who could be so fervently anti-piracy are those who always had their parents' money to buy every single film/song/game/etc. they ever wanted, and lacked the empathy to think others might not afford it so easily. Take away all their money and then see how quickly they would justify seeing (without buying) the latest Marvel film that all their friends watched.

    Lol, having an the capability to distribute information of any kind infinitely, but putting a paywall to it is fine aparently, nevermind running these things as a service or crowd funded, and then distribute for free.

    "But what about the devs?" Nothing, they dont see your money, its in the pocket of the shareholders

    Unless its an indie game or small artist with direct pay, pirate everything

      Which is all the more amazing that this user found a stance that LW libs agree with us. Its absurd

    Struggle session: most people who dunk on ip have ridiculous hate boners for ai voices. My brother in Christ, the guy who voices SpongeBob doesn’t own the character, let it sing mariachi songs.

      Counterpoint: If AI voices start voicing actual paid / monetized media, voice actors will all be out of work and a highly creative profession dies overnight

        Yeah, voice actors are treated horribly. Not stealing their voices is as much a solidarity thing as anything. Also stealing someone's voice is really icky. A nice gay Dane wrote a whole "Don't build the Torment Nexus" about it.

      Its one thing to create a meme using ai that is largely harmless. Its another to automate away everyones fucking job with ai. Voice actors have it hard enough, ai is the final nail in the coffin for that profession.

      Like everything else, the problem isn't the technology, it's capitalism using that technology to fuck over workers.
