Cool so we are going to nationalize the film industry? Force consolidation of streaming services? Treat entertainment like a utility and fix their rates with a tariff? No? Then fuck off

Vote Pirate Party
Is there a Pirate party in the US?
Ha, no, we don’t have the kind of political system which would make such small parties useful. Anyone who isn’t in one of the big two is essentially disenfranchised.
we don’t have the kind of political system YET…
Roughly 50 American voting jurisdictions — from small cities to states — have now moved to a ranked choice voting system, according to tracking by the advocacy group FairVote, and it’s shaping up to be one of the political subplots of 2024.
Advocates say ranked choice voting could help take some of the toxicity out of American politics while giving voters access to a broader swath of ideas.

Every day is a pirate party in the US.
AARRRR
I feel like this would just push more nontechies to learn how to be better pirates. It would do very little to stop piracy.
Only way to stop piracy is to make it easier and cheaper to buy the goods legitimately in all corners of the world. Since that won’t be happening, and since so much content is an outright gamble if it’s even any good, piracy will continue to grow.
When one site gets blocked 10 more pop up. More people just need to learn about VPN use.
I always find it funny how theyre always calling to ban the most surface level piracy sites or just whatever gets a lot of media attention like the pirate bay.
The seas are so deep they can never drain it all, nor do they intend to. Its just to keep that riaa and MPA campaign funds flowing.
Yep, and even if they managed to block indexers, you can always open up any torrent client with DHT search and find torrents in a fully distributed and P2P way. I used to have magnetico crawling DHT and connected to my *arrstack as a backup so it’s pretty straightforward to not rely on any central blockable website for torrents.
