  • 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.

















  • 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.
