- londons_explore 2y agoI would guess that if you can get payouts from some small chunk of users, you can then use those funds to 'reinvest' in tracking down and catching more. As soon as the process is sufficiently automated to be margin positive, you might as well scale it up to the whole population.

- NikolaNovak 2y agoYour point is degraded when you use the term autistic as a stereotyped insult. At risk of doing the same kind of generalization, I'd venture a lot of people of varying degrees of autism spectrum on these forums, would probably agree with you on your overall moral stand, if you didn't needlessly drag us into this.
- exe34 2y agoI'm diagnosed autistic and I approve of this usage. I would be grateful if normies would refrain from getting offended on my behalf, I'm plenty offended enough by other things.

- NikolaNovak 2y agoI 100% understand frustration of outsiders of a group being offended on some other groups behalf. I'm in a particularly progressive part of Canada so it happens a LOT! :=D If it helps at all, I was talking on behalf of myself, not yourself. That being said, the term "normies" also irks me, so clearly our differences have nothing to do with our position on spectrum :-> (neither "offends" me, but as per above, I automatically take less seriously the user of such words)
- exe34 2y agono two autists are alike.
- OKRainbowKid 2y agoNope, this isn't pushed by the government, but legal circumstances here allow for cheap and automated detection and extortion of "offenders". I assume the right holder are making deals with big law firms specialized in the "Abmahnungs-Business", allowing them to track "offenders" on their behalf. Law firms then threaten to sue at courts sympathetic to rightholders, extort the "offenders" and give kickbacks to the rightholders.
- ExoticPearTree 2y agoI think it has to do with the fact the ISPs are responding to requests automatically and don't fight for user privacy.
