@petko Been sailing the seas for around 30 yrs now. Will occasionally support a creator directly, but never corporations. Copyright laws and patents are just ways for the rich to gatekeep access. They should be abolished altogether. I mean, the European colonists also didn't give a fuck about copyright when they traveled across the globe, stealing left and right. And many of today's rich, who are whining about patents and copyright, have built their wealth on past thefts and exploitations to begin with.

@petko Nobody can be a pirate if nobody has a hard drive or RAM.

@petko Whenever I hear people complaint about people pirating from billionaires or big companies, I'm always reminded of this quote from South Park: 'Man must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before he acts selfishly, or else, I fear… recording artists will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury'

@petko I'll take purchase, thank you. Not that you can actually purchase and own much of anything anymore.

@petko A similar case could be made about American IT and financial services. The near monopoly. Spyware. You are the product. Manipulation. Microsoft who shut down their services for an International Court judge on demand from the Trump administration. Economic integration weaponised for extortion. Distrust is bad for business.

@petko YARR HARR FIDDELDIDDYY!" IMHO should all #copyright mandate #licensing under #FRAND terms. If it's not being made available to #license new as one-time-purchase then all copyrights should cease and "#piracy" be fully legal! #Copywrong #CopyrightMafia

@petko That problem also persists for physical media: Even if one were to legally buy the DVD or blu-ray of CyberSix, one would still have the problem that it won't play outside the region it was released in. - So >85% of all people cannot legally play the blu-ray version of CyberSix. - OFC that problem doesn't apply to those that ~obtained~ it elsewhere... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray#Region_codes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code #CyberSix #CopyProtection #RegionCoding #Contentmafia #Enshittification #DRM
