More pirates vs pirates memes when it should be pirates vs executives

I hear Ireland is the favorite this year

Heatwaves like these always happen in south European countries during July, nothing new>

Ah right. Guess that hottest temp ever recorded last week was nothing to be concerned about.

Just a climate troll doing your thing based on your comment history.

What are some open source projects that I could use instead?

I never thought to use soulseek for audiobooks, damn

“Flagrantly Illegal”

😂

Copyright laws are a recent phenomenon and should have never been a thing imo. The only reason it’s there is not to “protect creators,” but to make sure upper classes extract as much wealth over the maximum amount of time possible.

Music piracy has showed that it’s got too many holes in it to be effective, and now AI is showing us its redundancy as it uses data to give better results.

it stifles creativity to the point it makes us inhuman. Hell, Chinese writers used to praise others if they used a line or two from other writers.

Yea but with torrenting it’s multiple peers you are connected to. Soulseek only connects you 1-1 so it’s generally lots safer.

Agree 100% and I’ve been seeing this “debate” in other instances and communities recently

Piracy is moral and ethical. Small businesses are not the targets. I would download a car, I would download a better life if I could

Agreed, it doesn’t have to be the way it is

Access to culture itself if you think about it

Is this really news?

So if I get locked out of a car, I’m suddenly worthy of making headlines? There are bigger things to draw attention to than this.

I’ve been using Soulseek for a few years now and it’s been awesome with no issues

Let’s make a movie about it and then pirate it

I enjoy torrents, searching and deciding which is the best quality + storage combo is right for me is the fun part

Yea it’s totally not that every major news outlet is owned by and serves the interests of the rich.

Redhat: Yes, but also we are liars.

Hell I got one from a 90’s tv show, they are in torrents where you least expect them

So we’ll just be an extension to Reddit then?

Stank memes?
