- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoHave you read the indictment? It makes a pretty strong case that he knew copyright infringement was the cash cow of his business model, structuring the business and lying to copyright holders in order to make the infringement more effective. Deleting links without removing the infringing content from the server is the big smoking gun to me - there’s really no legitimate reason to do that.

- snapcaster 2y agoSo what? are you a record executive? why do you feel so strongly about this? what is motivating you to simp for the empire so hard?
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoI don’t think this is an honest question and I’m not going to engage with it.
- throwadobe 2y agoThat's the mother of cop outs. It's an absolutely honest question.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoPerhaps we're using terminology differently. When I say "honest question", I mean a question that someone wants a straightforward answer to, perhaps as a starting point for further discussion. "What is motivating you to simp for the empire so hard?" is not such a question. Having been in such conversations before, if I responded with an honest answer like "I generally think the US is a pretty good country" or "I feel that it's important for criminals to be caught and punished", I'm quite confident that the original commenter would respond with personal insults and invective.
- throwadobe 2y agoYou're arguing legality trumps morality. We're in the opposite camp. Fuck MPAA/RIAA. They're not good faith actors and they play dirty all the time. We need to fight dirty too. It's so rich of those guys to complain of racketeering of all things!
