We pirate movies, games and songs that are made by workers who would undoubtedly make more money if we had bought them instead. Nevertheless we justify piracy by saying that intellectual property is unjust and exploitative.

So wouldn't the same logic apply to OnlyFans? There is currently a movement where people are subscribing to OnlyFans, uploading all the content on porn sites and then unsubscribing. I'm seeing this get criticized, but it's the same things as piracy right? Those who do want to pay will pay, while those who pirate are those who never would have paid in the first place.

      Almost any argument made against this also applies to other types of piracy. There is infinite free games and movies too.

      I'm just tired of sex-work being placed on a pedestal above other types of work. A game-designer or a best boy who work their asses off also lose from piracy, but somehow a woman who simply shows tits and ass is more exploited than them?

      My point is, either all forms of piracy are bad, or none are.

        This is high key reddit energy.

          Do the employees of movie production companies or game companies also not deserve the product of their labor? You say they're big companies, sure that's true. But those massive companies also employ massive amounts of people who depend on IP laws for their very survival.

          I didn't acknowledge your main point because I agree with it. I'm just saying that IF that's true, then piracy of all other forms is equally bad and leftists shouldn't do that either.

              Bro without IP laws, almost no company would get as big as they are and employ as many people as they do. The very employment of millions of workers depend on IP laws. You are trying to minimize the effect of piracy on other workers for some weird reason.

              If you don't want your nudes seen by the world, don't post it on the internet. It's that simple.

                  In a world without IP laws, the world that you want to see, those who want to pay for something can pay while those who want to pirate can pirate.

                  The same applies for any porn produced in such a world. So you basically agree with me. How would you stop people from pirating porn without IP laws?
