Piracy, in today’s context of unauthorized sharing of digital content, is wrongly condemned as immoral theft. However, it is not piracy itself that is immoral. Rather, it is the greed-driven laws and practices that censor knowledge and creative works to maximize profits. At its core, piracy is about sharing information and creative works with others, which should be seen as a moral good. 🤑

    Again, piracy is not stealing it is copyright infringement. I don’t believe ideas are property so I don’t believe in protecting them. It’s not that complicated.

      Whatever world you envision, I’m glad I’m not part of it. Imagine a world in which inventors have no incentive to create because their ideas get stolen in the blink of an eye, leaving them bankrupt.

      No thanks.

        We already live in a world with copyright law and it’s a shitshow so how much worse can it be? Have fun owning nothing and being nickle and dimed by subscriptions.

          @ayaya @platypus_plumba that what pissed me off with light room and an old Mac I had. Upgraded the mac, and then light room can’t be run anymore. You need to get a subscription … I sold the Mac and went full Linux with #darktable instead.

          All is about fucking subscriptions to everything … Disney cut some shows because they dont make a massive hit the first couple of weeks, you can’t find good old movies, because you need to follow the trends … All that is bullshit
