People Twitter

I encourage everyone who cares about piracy to not talk about it in an outright and encouraging manner. Here's some examples based on what people are publicly posting:

-"This is why we commit crimes"

-"I think it's crazy that everyone doesn't commit crimes."

-"Committing crimes is justified when I can't do it legally."

Do you think corporations would be upset with people encouraging what legally equates to theft?

Do you think corporations are unaware of if their legal property is popularly being stolen?

Do you think corporations avoid scraping lemmy for data or trends?

Do you think corporations have unreasonable power to lobby government and push legislation?

Maybe you should all quit narcing yourselves and making a public spectacle before another wave of legal action takes place to dissuade another generation, like what happened back in the Napster days.

I learned this back when iTunes purged all my purchases over a decade ago. Either stream or buy physical.

Yo ho, yo ho . . .

The same answer can be given to the question why people pirate digital content.

~~digital copies~~

digital conditional access licenses

Nobody but Funimation ever owned these files. Let's start calling a spade a spade and maybe people will start realizing how dumb of a purchase they are.

Sounds like a good case for small claims court.

I refuse to support Funimation after how they handled the Vic Mignogna allegations. Them acquiring Crunchyroll, shutting down their own service and failing to actually improve CR with the content that Funimation Now had shows what scumbags they are.

Anime licensing in general is why sailing the high seas is so tempting.
