false equivalence, guns kill people, piracy doesn’t
- cubefox 2y agoAnalogous question: At what percentage of uses for crime should train ticket copy machines be banned?
- pokerface_86 2y agoi’m okay with them not being banned? i don’t really give a shit if municipalities and train companies lose money
- cubefox 2y agoYou would give "a shit" if you relied on the train and the company closed down. Certainly the people that do, do.
- pokerface_86 2y agoi don’t, i use my car. no need for a train. until we have high speed rail on the level of japan across the continental US, i have no interest in seeing trains succeed
- cubefox 2y agoThere is this thing called "ethics"...
- consteval 2y agoThe problem is that this breaks down very fast. You would eventually care, when those people can no longer operate and then you're affected, i.e. this is a problem of selfishness. People pirating Nintendo games AND people playing Nintendo games DO care - when Nintendo no longer makes money and there's no more games to play. And I know they care, because they're playing and love the games right now. So it is their problem, regardless of what they say. Their very actions prove it's their problem.
