I think people have already answered your question. Just to add on, think about stuff that happened before the creation of an IP regime. Were people not creating things back then?
I would also like to clarify that I’m not talking about forcing people to reveal their secrets. If you want to keep your thing a secret, you’re welcome to. But, there should be no state prosecution if that thing gets made public.
And I do buy things if I enjoyed them and want to reward the creators. When I was a poor kid with no funds, I pirated a lot of videogames. Now that I’m a slightly older kid with some funds, I buy the games that I enjoy and my game piracy has gone down a lot. Without piracy, these future sales from me would have been lost because I probably wouldn’t care about videogames. Not a justification, just my feelings.
All piracy is ethical because Intellectual Property is a lie.
I will pirate from megacorps and indies, anyone who sets up a demand based distribution system for products.
The only products I will not pirate are those that have a needs based distribution system and are finite.
Socialism is actually full daddy-state.
Communism would be a stateless existence.
If I could replace my government with the EU, I would not hesitate.
No way that’s true. Most social media users are in Asia and Africa where Android is King!
They’re the same for me because my account is 2 years old when lemmy.ml was the only instance with the bare minimum activity!
Yup, I joined in 2021 too and it was a ghost town. Just seeing hundreds of comments on posts is a shock.
Thanks for the tip!
Wait rarbg was shut down?
Are there any ones as good?
Cis is not a slur lol
Ah even leftists have these views? Those are common anti-establishment viewpoints.
What wrong with it?
Then they never believed in it to begin with. Freedom comes with a cost.
It’s not surprising that people who have unacceptable views seek out the freest medium to express them. That’s always been the case.
You need the crazies to be crazy for alternate media to exist.
Can’t you just download the file from the repo and install it?
Oh yeah, I definitely get that. This is mostly from my experience of reading Enid Blyton books as a kid lol.
Actually, the northern parts of India close to the Himalayas, the Himalayas and other mountain ranges themselves have pretty harsh winters. There are always reports of people dying because of the cold. The rest of the country, winter is pretty mild. In my place the lowest it goes to is like 8C.
India.
These conditions are not uncommon.
This makes it sound like you ate his shit…
