@petko

Or you could just not watch.

You don't have to be a consumer slave.

Imagine the CAM, inputs and feedstocks for a single-serving downloadable car. You could damage the biosphere at the scale of a small town specializing in re-chroming bumpers just for your single car. The absolutely insane thing? Somebody in a hot tub with some billionaires is talking about this on some trippy drug or other. They have a buddy in Long Beach with connections to Harbor Freight Tools that says they can package the whole thing w/ CNC, etc. for $250,000.

this famous anti-piracy ad used pirated music

So, in a world where laws only apply to the poor, and the rich get to steal, rape, and murder with absolute impunity, why should we care what the rich tell us again?

@alienghic @davefischer @petko

@benroyce @davefischer @petko yea and what I love about it is that it was literally made for them, but even despite that they failed to properly license it. these companies only care about money, and would happily shank you in the back if you so much as glance away, it would appear

@oberono @davefischer @petko

you're forgetting the upside: it's the perfect investment scam! (/s)

Now all she needs is a parrot and a peg leg!

@petko Accurate.

@petko 'oh no, people these days have no moral! no one thinks of the poor share holders children, who cry in their multi million sports cars!'

@petko Ever since I sailed the good ship Torrent, I've never looked back.

Artafernes @assimilateborg @petko Not at all, just don't download torrents directly, use a bit torrent client like qbit torrent or bitlord, it provides a bit of a security buffer, but you still have to know what not to download, what looks suspicious and such.

@petko OMG THIS IS ME ​

@petko pretty much this. Kids these days won't understand the level of freedom we have.

@petko the kids arrrrr alright

@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.

@benroyce @davefischer @petko "stealing" a movie is NOT like stealing a bicycle.

It's more like sitting down next to where your bike is locked up and taking measurements and enough photos to build an exact copy. They have theirs when it is finished, and you still have yours. Someone wanting simply to copy my bike could get all kinds of useful tips and construction tips simply by asking!
