    My point is that it’s an unstoppable force created by their greed and forced by their hand. In theis case, capitalism has done a shitty job of providing this service and that they’ve created a whole alternative ecosystem.

    This latest bullshit is just the cherry on top.

    The way I see it, we could do this or we could create laws against how they’re doing that. Get regulation passed, organize, and have class actions against them until balance is achieved.

      I would wager the capitalists with billions of dollars have a bit easier time passing legislation than any of us commoners do.

      They are the force.

      I’m just saying if everyone that steals from Walmart then goes online to tell everyone that they stole, and everyone pats them on the back, don’t be so surprised when Walmart invests to have officers guarding the exit, and pushes some mandatory minimum sentences to make shoplifting harder and riskier.

            I’m talking about pooling money and hiring our own lobbyists. That should be illegal, but since it’s not, we should leverage it.

            This is not fight club. I’m absolutely not talking about anything criminal.

            Thanks for the good laugh though.

                No. Pirating media hurts creators by cutting their revenue, which can limit future content production. It’s also illegal, posing legal risks to you. Ethically, it’s about respecting the work and rights of those who create. Plus, pirated content often comes with malware risks. Better to support creators and stay on the right side of the law.
