The IP also should just die.

Long term safety testing is different from efficacy testing.

But it sounds like there will no money for any types of testing.

Obviously if the authors views are reflected in the work then there isn’t a separation. HP is badly written with many failings, but it is enjoyable and not anti-trans itself. The art does not reflect the beliefs of the author.

On the moral side, no money needs to be given directly or indirectly to Rowling.

Burqa bans come from separation of religion and state. This is Authoritarian vs Libertarian, not Left vs Right.

I'm still not sure what "this" is being banned.

The product itself isn't bad. But you do have a point.

Let's compare Orsen Scott Card and Rowling. I'm never going to be pressured into taking kids to an Enders Game theme park, but piracy will make Univeral theme parks (and therefore Rowling) lots more money. Disney made more money from selling Churros than streaming.

Only Asians in the 13th century knew him.

It's weird how he ended up in swimming pools.

Maybe "up", "down" or "over".

What is this hypothetical argument exactly?

Only recently has the response changed from "here" to something more descriptive.

giving her money means more policies against us is bad, and then you object to that?

No, you went further and are hating on people liking HP. You are attacking the art not the artist. I am defending art in general. I am not defending Rowling at all or encouraging funding for her. Everyone should pirate anything HP related.

Why would I talk about religion here?

Because you are confusing the art and the artist. That precedent should not be allowed no matter the topic. (By equating religion to art I can make my point quicker. Note I'm not choosing any religion in particular)

Why do you think I don't speak up against any church or organization funding hate and bigotry?

Do you also try to stop people from believing in that religion? From reading those religious books? No. The art is separate.

You are not being genuine.

I'm highlighting how art and artist are separate. No-one should feel guilty about enjoying a fictional book.

If you are going down that road then there are much big targets to aim at. Are you also applying the same anger (and logic) to organised religion?

The same arguments apply and they are multiple times more powerful than Rowling.

Totally agree. Although in today's digital world there is no need to spend any money on HP.

Piers was also right to speak out against the 2nd Gulf War.

He's reached his limit. Pay no further attention.

"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll hurricane your house down"

It is important to separate art and artist.

People get a lot of comfort out of religious text knowing next to nothing about the author(s).

This also means you can hate on JK Rowling without making any connection to HP.

How can his attempts to tell the department or police about his concerns be considered classified information.

That is some bullshit.

Love and Thunder is the same tone but turned up to 11. The Director caught George Lucas-itus and not enough people said no to him.

Avatar: The Way of Water is 3rd highest grossing (Ignoring inflation) so it's not just the 3D part.

And people cosplay it frequently.

I really don't get it.

Top managers do seem to be targeted.

CEO Martin Winterkorn's trial in Germany was paused in 2021 due to health issues, but he remains a key figure under investigation.

The arrest of Audi’s then-CEO Rupert Stadler in 2018 marked a dramatic shift into current executives.

Owners responsibility is interesting. I think the concept of limited liability protects them, but should it? If they actively influenced the policy I don't think it should (but proving that is difficult).
