  • You're delusional man. Creating information costs a lot of money. Do you think it takes the same amount of investment to create a 10gb file of random bytes as a 10gb file that contains a movie with actors?

    Imagine if only a single person had to buy your movie in order for everyone to watch it. Wherevs the logic in that?

    The only reason why the industry is surviving is because most people understand that they need to pay for the entertainment they consume. So yeha, paying customers are actually the only reason you get to pirate movies, because if everyone had your same mindset, the industry would be dead.

    And I pirate movies too, I'm just not in denial with reality.

  • They never hacked your computer, you agreed to everything. So what's the problem then? It's just a file that can be shared.

    I'm not talking only about you. I'm talking about how senseless the "I can share files with anyone" is. If that were true, companies could really fuck their customers, but thankfully it isn't logical, thus it is illegal.

    Imagine if a single person could buy a movie and then place it in their Facebook to share with their friends. And then their friends share with their friends. And so on... because it's just a file, nobody is stealing, copying information isn't stealing! ... Who would make a movie under those conditions?

    If you want to own the movie, you need to buy a real copy. If you are buying a digital copy, you do not own the movie. There is already a solution for your problem, real copies.

    So sure, if you want a bunch of industries to die, keep believing and convincing others of that.

    The only reason you can watch your pirated movie is the fact that other people actually pay for the content. So you're really stealing from people who now have to pay more to access the content.

  • Once again. If you're traveling to a developing country and someone tries to steal from you, what do you do? YOU LET IT HAPPEN.

    Why? Because for them your phone is worth more than your life.

    You let it happen, don't look at their faces, don't scream, don't run, don't move your hands, don't try to bargain, don't chase after them, don't look in their direction once they are gone...

    You come from a rich country, you'll recover financially, just let it happen and move on. It's crazy how rich people come to these countries thinking they have some kind of imaginary bulletproof shield.

    I saw a thieve kill a teenage girl because she resisted for a couple of seconds. Bam, stabbed in the neck, she dropped after 3 seconds.

  • He's clearly talking about piracy in general. The point being that just because something is a file, it doesn't mean it isn't intellectual property.

    I do agree that in some scenarios piracy is fighting bad actors, like in this case, but it isn't a generalized rule, piracy also has a bad side.

    So this guy comes here and defends the general idea of piracy based on a single instance in which it is actually good, which is just a fallacy.
