I'm gonna get starbucks and avocado toast just to twist the knife
They gotta try their advice on themselves, "try to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and maybe it'll trickle down"
iPhone 4 is that you?
From what I’ve seen and spoken to the younger generation in my comp sci classes. None of them pirate. It’s too much work for them and they’re into that instant gratification. They thought I was an animal for pirating media… so I don’t know what they’re talking about
There is a weird puritanism out there today, and i don't just mean being afraid of sex as a broad concept. Feels like now if you mention breaking any law you'll get some absolute losers bitching about it as long as you aren't on the real fringes of the Internet.
You've noticed that too? It's almost like their parents were so cavalier about legality that this is rebellion to them or something.
If they really want to end piracy, they could. There are so many things that can't be pirated
Such as?
Love.

Film studios complaining about people not paying for their movies while not paying contactors
Fun fact: Piracy is still supporting the film industry. We see movies, talk about it, free publicy, reviews etc.
Apparently in the industry they consider the value of a pirated movie about 1/4 that of a paid one.
Some programs etc would pretty much die without piracy like the Adobe suite
When the biggest German piracy streaming page was shut down more than a decade ago, rumors have it that the film industry suffered enormously
Can confirm, work in the industry - we don't care. The only reason there's anti-piracy stuff out there is because the FBI pressured studios in the 90s to help stop brown people from bootlegging VHSs then later DVDs.
Did anyone else get the line "Born white in the world's richest countree-ee" in their heads there, or is that a way too obscure Jello Biafra reference?
Hell I straight up told Amazon I'm watching a series without ads and without paying the upgrade while filling my complaint. Explained it took me less time to get than it took to wait on customer service to complain to. Explained why Napster was a thing.
I know they don't care but you know.
Amazon employee responding: Yeah, you and everyone else mate. The moment you tell me I have to report though or I could lose my job. OR lul me 2 m8.
They did it to themselves
