Yes, I pirate for many reasons. Money used to be the main one when I didn’t have any. Today, fortunately, I’m doing very well, but I still do it because it’s much more convenient than adapting to each of the streaming platforms, or because I access uncensored material (music and shows). For example, I’m a big fan of South Park, and the only way to access several episodes is by pirating them. My family pays for the family plan of all the major streaming services, so if I wanted to access them legally, I could, but God, I’ll never do it. I really find it all pathetic.

Regarding software, I try to avoid using anything that requires payment. I donate anonymously to many open-source projects: Cryptomator, GrapheneOS, Electrum, Veracrypt, Librewolf, WG Tunnel, and VLC. I pay for the premium versions of Bitwarden and ProtonMail. And that’s it, that’s all.

Not at all. Proof is in recent history. How long took to steal the multi touch from iPhone without paying a single patent? Once is out, is everyones game. If the market demand it enough.

You can be the first one, and that should pay you enough. If you want more, or think it doesn’t worth your time, let room for somebody else.

New tech doesn’t need patents. Drugs are another example. The blank brand drugs sell less than Bayern in my country and IT’S THE SAME DRUG. But people trust brands. So you are still in business even years after the patent expires. You don’t need this laws to preserve new tech from coming out, companys want the markets only for themselves as long as they can. That’s it.

If you could copy a drug from day one, health would be a better business for everyone except a few, and those few will only make a little less money. They won’t go bankrupt.

No, I don’t have to. That’s too superfluous.

In jobs where you need to do researches, you just charge your time more expensive. That’s it.

I love piracy.

I think patents are stupid and if you invent something good you should be able to sell it at whatever price you feel like, and if I copy what you did and sell it cheaper, that’s on you. Try to make it better and cheaper next time. Or find your premium market, or find your ‘the original creator’ market, or receive donations, or etc…

But make it illegal to copy? That’s just a pussy move.

Nope. If the product is finished and you make a copy, nobody else is paying.

If you go to the store (90s style) and steal a copy, that’s a whole different thing.

That doesn’t make it free. Somebody else is paying.

Is it? Or is it that you girls can’t admit that you have a problem?

I think he was joking, like making look like a bad investment instead of a electricity bill

He didn’t pay for Amazon video, he just wanted the 2 days shipping. He assumes everyone else is like him.

Oh my god, people here are so over theirself it’s so sad.

Enjoy it or stop watching. You don’t need to suffer.

I loved old Futurama, and I choose to watch the new episodes because I really like the show. Some more than others, that’s it. I’m really grateful they are making more episodes.

Awful advice. The dog doesn’t need to suffer for the stupidity of his owner.

Please avoid having a dog… Or a kid

This is sad in many levels.

such a fun guy

You beautiful bot!

Yeah they did it in a garage!!! What is your excuse??? You only need a garage and no cars in it!!!

Srsly fuck that narrative.

I understand what you’re saying, and I do see where you’re coming from. I’m a foreigner who lived in the country for a while, and I’m passionate about following both US and global political news. I can assure you that on the larger spectrum, they are more alike than they are different.

I’m not just talking about international politics where a president is essentially an actor repeating concepts they may not fully understand, but also in terms of domestic affairs. The debates they have in the United States may seem profound (healthcare, abortion, student debt), but they often appear to be comfortable discussions. In other words, the primary interest of their politicians is to retain their jobs, and they would never seek to improve the lives of their citizens if it goes against the possibility of maintaining their influence. Ultimately, both parties serve a higher good: preserving the two-party system. They may pass the baton back and forth from time to time, but the game remains the same.

You know, I kinda dig the innocence of some folks in the States who think there’s one political party that’s more “wicked” than the other. It’s like they still reckon that picking between two not-so-great choices is what they call democracy, right?
