      Piracy will continue to be a competitor so long as it’s more convenient and cheaper to deal with.

      If I have to jump through 10 hoops to buy a song, and it’s limited to select services/hardware/software, you bet I’ll pirate a copy in half the steps and be able to play the song on anything supporting .wav/mp3/mp4/etc, just like the early iOS days with iTunes.

      If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.

      Its ok when LLM labs steal petabytes and billions worth of copyrighted material on an industrial scale but not when simpletons do it

      If they didn’t buttfuck how streaming was 10 or so years ago this conversation would not be happening. Or at least it would be under a different guise.

      If I cant access content with a VPN, I WILL pirate the shit out of your content.

      I stopped sailing the seas when streaming was affordable, convenient, and good quality libraries. The enshitification of these platforms is why I went back to sailing. I’d rather WORK to have more quality content. They would have to take out the entire internet to truly stop it. Even then, I’ll go back to burning bootleg CDs.

      The beatings will continue until morale improves.

      They gave up on fighting AI stealing everything so they’re doubling down on the general public instead.

      You’ll own nothing and be happy.

      Surely i’ll pirate everything instead..

      Let’s see here.

      I can pay every month for a limited, online-only catalog of low-quality, compressed content full of ads, any and all of which can be taken away at any time because fuck you that’s why.

      Or I can just keep an ad-free MP4 on my phone forever.

      These corporations can take a flying fuck. I pay for netflix, and they wanna block vpn usage because they arbitrarily region code. I don’t get it, i can’t pay them more for more content from other countries.

      It’s all about control.

      You are free…to do what we tell you.

      VPNs are literally how people can do sensitive work for companies remotely. If you ban VPNs, the economy breaks.
