You do know the seeders on BitTorrent don’t have a license though. Just admit you don’t care about pirating from a major company. You don’t have to lie to yourself to concoct a moral justification.

I bet the amount of pirating of Netflix content is up since password sharing is being clamped down on—not that Netflix cares. If an unpaid user falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound? But I can’t help but fee

There really isn’t any reasonable defense for these examples or the lack of the speedy hearing. But I’m not against civil forfeiture if practiced better with better safe guards. Every year the government takes 30%+ of the money I make via t

I find menus on phones harder to read. And it just feels annoying to have everyone’s face in their phones at a meal. I have no issue with it being default, but since covid ended, the places that still use qr menus seem not to have paper

The article explains the problems. AI proponents want to use these systems to censor. And it leads to major companies like Microsoft slandering people. Microsoft should be afraid about that.
