    it’s a bit hypocritical that big companies complain about piracy when they are no better than Blackbeard, xxx-sama and Akainu combined.

    i mean, they have hijacked the system so they can set the rules, their lawyers are law crackers, they take advantages of artists to buy their copyright for pennies and making millions of it, they scam us with DLC’s, fees, dark patterns; they steal our private info, images, text creations, etc. to sell it or use it for AI development; and they also limit our access to the internet and technology by banning third party apps, modding, using anything related to their patents…

    sorry but if i was a law enforcer, they would be the first ones i would chase after.

    Tell you what, I don’t really care either way. I currently have three separate streaming services. Netflix, Disney and Amazon. Including a patreon monthly subscription and one only fans I really like for a total of five.

    However I want to watch The Big Bang Theory. I’m just not willing to subscribe to yet another unaffiliated streaming service for one TV show!

    Just for the sake of organization and convenience I travel the high seas for the show I want to watch!

    It’s not that I don’t necessarily want to pay or I want to steal the intellectual property it’s just that there’s no significant incentive for me to watch the Big bang theory outside of the way that I’m currently going to acquire it.

    This writer seems like a proper neck beard. I 100% agree with most of what they say, but this feels like it’s straight out of 4chann

    Edit: I read a few other articles of his and watch a few of his videos/interviews. This article is an extreme side of him apparently. I still think he is extremely socially awkward, he can’t hold eye contact for longer than a millisecond and struggles to answer questions in less than twenty words.

    I do fully agree with almost everything I’ve heard him say. I just don’t like the way he says it.

      So what? Software freedom is more of a meritocracy than most things (but not entirely). They had Richard freaking Stallman who eats his toenails while giving lectures.
