A reasonable question.

My point is he’s not asking for it to be deleted from the entire internet.

You’re just here to jerk yourself off over “uhm, actually! nothing is ever deleted from the internet!” which also isn’t true.

Yeah, although in my mind it’s pretty much always been like this.

People on the internet are eager to say “something” even if it doesn’t actually address the issue at hand.

It’s sad, but it gets easier to deal with once we stop expecting more.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, but lemmy.world definitely does not condone what you’re saying.

OP does have a point.

This isn’t really helpful.

The laws have always been in place for us, not them.

I agree.

I’m noticing this species has a problem with doing things the obviously correct way the first time.

It’s as though we’d rather put 100x more effort for 10% of the results just to prove that we “can” do it.

Good!!!

Piracy is a service problem.

Hey look everyone, he repeated it!

Go to any country without an egregious amount of excessive wealth and you’ll see fast how worldwide, piracy is a solution to the ever-growing disparity in wealth.

Like it or not, this is still consumerist rhetoric.

Anti-consumers and anti-suckers will say “do whatever gives you the best deal.”

It’s all business at the end of the day. These companies aren’t our friends.

And Okular!

That’s the point.

Along with censorship.

How so? I’ve admitted in my post that I wasted money by paying for a VPN for years.

“If a service is free, you are not the customer, you are the product”

There it is, he regurgitated it!

No, the real issue is that people don’t want to admit when they’ve been taken for a ride. I see it all the time and don’t expect more from consumers at this point.

Anything to avoid admitting you spent money on something you could’ve gotten for free.

Thanks for the reasonable and informative response.

The powers that be want to make sure that us workers never see value in those people.

On their website it’s said they’re funded by donations.

You would be wise to, you know, at least check out their website before making up your own nonsense.
