  • In the eyes of the law it's piracy. But to me if something is not being sold, it might as well be public domain. And there's literally no difference between buying a second hand mario 3 cartridge and pirating the rom in terms of money the creators get. That's way more ridiculous to me than the youtube thing.

  • Yeah it's kind of the entire point I was making. If I could only listen to the music on YouTube that's been properly licensed and identified, then I wouldn't use YouTube for music. In that situation it would just be another Spotify.

    Here's an example of something that's absolutely not supposed to be on youtube, which the IP owner goes to great lengths to enforce. But people keep reuploading every time it's taken down. It's literally a bootleg.

  • I'm on the younger end and there was one year where my English class was basically holocaust class instead. I think more time was spent on the holocaust specifically than on Canadian history and genocides that happened here. It was weird and it honestly did make me question it, which happened with everything they went overboard on. It's basically what made me question religion for the first time too.

  • With the SD what you're talking about is reality but I meant it in terms of normies perceptions. I watched some retro handheld reviews on YouTube and it started surfacing videos about SD cards of retro roms you can buy. There's always people pointing out that you can just download the same rompack from archive.org, and there are people replying who say that's piracy. I couldn't make something like that up if I tried. Here's another one specifically about YouTube. If you torrent a song, that's bad. But if you use a YouTube to mp3 website that's different. My family sees it that way.

  • For years I didn't know LinkedIn was considered a real website. I thought it was just a spam factory and all the profiles on the site were either fake or generated from barely ever correct scraped info. Like those celebrity info sites that appear on Google but for business people. But no, somehow behind it all there's an actual company that the government knows about.
