Are piracyfags the cringest people in existence?
Yes.
for me it’s shoplifting
I find smug pride to be cringey regardless of the subject.
>>214913469for me its black people
>>214913469You pirated this emotion
I don't seed. I don't believe in it.
>>214913469I'm seeding your mom
>I don't seed. I don't believe in it.
>>214913469>Are piracyfags the cringest people in existence?People who propagate wojaks.
>>214913469Go to bed, Netflix
>>214914378If you ever want a good time, find a busy supermarket and free the carts. Like put a quarter in all of them in the stall thing, come back in four hours and enjoy the bedlam. I use 3d printer plastic slugs that basically cost nothing, it’s funny as hell
>>214913469>heheh stupid corpos i'll be downloading this for free hehehe>w-why is all media aimed at middle aged women and brown people? why don't they market things to 18-50 year old chuds anymore?
I stop seeding whenever I see an Indian flag.
>>214913469Nope. Capeshit faggots are tied with nintendies for being cringiest of all time.
>>214915792why not just ban indian peers?
>>214915764Don't care.
>>214915764Fortunately tv as a medium is dead and indie devs exist. You’re not wrong tho
>>214915815Obviously you do since you responded
>>214915764Explain what happened to video games then you stupid faggot.
>>214915901The exact same thing?
>>214915901>heheh stupid corpos i'll be downloading this game for free hehehe>w-why are all video games aimed at trans and brown people? why don't they market ganes to 18-50 year old chuds anymore outside of a handul of games from grorious nippon island?
>>214915997>implying trans and brown people actually buy games and not pirate as wellKek, imagine being this retarded..
>>214915950>middle aged women and brown people play video games
>>214916079>middle aged womenthey put in hours on games like Sims and Stardew Valley>brown peopleno clue, can they afford stuff that can run games? I assume they play 10+ year old titles
>>214913469Moralfags like you are worse, OP.
>>214913469How many rupees is goldstein paying you, jeet? I want that job too
>>214913469torrent is supposed to be like charity, you give to people and don't expect anything in returnand it's not a crime to not seed, unlike pirating movies
>>214915901Video games got saved by Steams semi monopoly on the market. Most gamers are content buying their stuff because they dont have to jump through several hoops to get it. Just click two buttons and you have the exact game you want in the same place as all your other video games. Also that game is yours forever, you don't just stream it on some digital platform that you have to pay a constant fee for.Meanwhile movies are spread out over ten different netflix clones all with their own corpo bullshit. It's the equivalent of having to go to battle.net, the epic store or (God help us) Uplay for every other game. If that was the case piracy would also be rampant in videa.Thanks gaben
>>214915811>>214915792You can firewall all Indian and Israeli IPs from your connecting to your computer. Torrent being P2P that's all you need. Google "IP country block" there are several pages offering the CIDR list as a .txt file.
>>214913469if piracy is cringe i don't want to be based
>>214913469No piracy is based. The privatetrackertards are the redditors of piracy though.Thankfully, there's only maybe like 5 tv shows and 20 movies worth pirating anyway since movies and tv shows are mostly a garbage medium, so private trackers can be safely ignored and thrown in the garbage.
>>214915901The tranny game Silksong is beloved by gamers. All gamers are enormous fags anyway.
>>214915764Except media being aimed at middle aged women and brown people is what caused people to pirate the few bits of non-shitty media available.Why would anybody literally fund the propaganda that's being spewed their way?
>>214915764Media is always gonna be aimed at women because they buy more stuff
>>214915764idgaf there's plenty more to torrent and watch than I could possibly consume in a lifetime already.
>>214915764i don't care about anything made after mid 00s roughly, safely ignoring and does not appear like i'm missing anything>>214918676this too
>>214918301>privatetrackertardsI don't get the point of this unless you are into niche stuff. Is it just to get stuff before everyone else? I've only rarely ran into anything I couldn't find within a few minutes of looking for it but maybe my tastes are just too plebeian or something.
>>214916148No that is considered hardcore fem gaming, most only play shit like solitaire and candy crush for a few minutes a day.
>>214917350>Also that game is yours foreverNo its not.>you don't just stream it on some digital platformYes you do.>pay a constant fee for.Yes you can.
>>214913469>love is sharing a password>Netflix then makes it so people can't watch unless they literally are in the same house>or you can pay extra to share with someone who lives elsewherefucking jew company.
>>214913469in this economy? more like love is watching more youtube ads on every video
>>214915764Pirating causes the company to lose money. Therefore I constantly download, delete, and then re-download shows I hate because the company making them loses more money everytime. Then I buy good media. Simple as.

>>214913469Only tech illiterate zoomers and boomers who cant use torrents would pay for subscription to watch shit online
>>214919571it's insane how inept zoomers arethey're the first gen to have been born with internet and they barely know how to use itliteral app monkeys
>>214919703That is exactly what boomers think of you millennials and your inability to fix your own vehicles.
>>214919732kek, boomers couldn't fix our cars so nice try
>>214913469>he didn't build his own NAS>he doesn't run a multi-TB media library, accessible from his TV, any PC or any mobile device he owns
>>214917150Actually its a crime to seed
>>214919764>he doesn't seedare you gay or are you just poor and can't afford high bandwidth?
>>214919750Yes they could because boomers grew up as cars were being designed and it was deeply ingrained into their culture, so they got to see cars slowly evolve into what they are now instead of being born into a world filled with dozens of different kinds of cars in the dozenth or so generation of improvement.
>>214913469you're either a pirate or you're a zoomer who don't know how to, there is no other option
>>214919781You're a retard, nobody's fixing a modern car with duct tape and a can do attitude, they're over-engineered messes
>>214919781yea i'm sure they're good at running diagnostics as wellwe're not driving shitboxes from the 80's anymore
>>214914378the point of piracy is that I'm selfish and don't want to pay for it, I don't care if other people pay for it, not my problem.
>>214919806So is internet 3.0 with its unfixable tablets and smart phones and social media with no clear point of contact.
>>214919814Boomers are, that is why they can still fix their own cars and they don't have to cuck to some dealer and they don't have to subscribe to additional radio features.
>>214913469question, do trannies have don't-passwords?
>>214919779I seed since I use a private tracker.
You're welcome bros
>>214919910I use KeePassXC for my HDB, PTP, BTN and KG passwords. It has my TOTP 2fa too.
>>214913469Isn't password sharing illegal now?
>>214919732True. But boomers were taught how to fix cars by their fathers. They could’ve passed the knowledge on, just most of them didn’t. I don’t really blame zoomers for not understanding things either. It’s literally “we trained him wrong on purpose, as a joke.”
>>214919964I tried finding that image of the dude doing a salute while a single tear runs down his face but I couldn't find that it so just imagine that I posted that one.
>>214919898have you driven anything that's been built after 2010?
>>214920044>But boomers were taught how to fix cars by their fathers.No, they were taught how to fix cars by their culture.>They could’ve passed the knowledge on, just most of them didn’t. No, the technology began changing too rapidly, by the time they taught what they knew, there were new standards and they were generations behind, getting even further behind by trying to educate the old ways instead of learn the new ones.

>>214913556all of my collector's edition south park is shoplifted from thrift stores. nabbed s4 a few days ago
>>214920163Depends on the piracy.If you aren't willing to support the people who made the media, why the fuck are you viewing the media to begin with?It's a logical fallacy and just means you're a bad person.However, i'm not buying the same CD I have bought twice already now that we have moved into the digital age.Context always matters.I ain't watching a movie period where I disagree with paying for it as a standard.
>>214915764nobody here cares about profiteering, go back
>>214913469No. As you can see by that meme, the pirate is a chad
>>214913886Are you okay with a world where no one seeds? Then you should not stop seeding. Kant talks about this
>>214920729I do, but it's still annoying when you've got 2GB upload speeds.
>>214920789In 99% of the cases, you don't support the people who made the media by buying it, you support the people who exploiting and extorted them for distribution over monopolized channels. Also you can't even know if you liked something until after you watch it which means you can't possibly buy something you know you like, you just have to roll the dice and hope with the current purchase models.
>>214913469>Paypig thinks he can talk shitStick your snout back in the trough
>>214920825>Kant talks about thisdon't care what your parasocial youtuber e-daddy has to say about shit, i'm not seeding
>>214913469Depends. I have mixed feelings on it. I believe that good movies are worth paying for whille shit movies aren't worth stealing. I especiaIly feel that's true for the movie theater experience. I don't buy the excuse of "IT SUCKS SO IT'S OK TO PIRATE IT" that I've heard too many times. Sometimes file sharing is the only way to get things unaltered in their original state, especially now with all the "THIS MOVIE WAS MADE WHEN EVERYONE WAS A WHITE SUPREMACIST, SO SORRY" disclaimers to try to make us feel bad about liking something.

>>214913469Probably.Personally I pirate everything as it's just easier to find and have good quality.The trust had been broken between the producer and the customer.If I like it, I'll try to find a way to give them money, without any Jewish middlemen, if possible.

Piracy is the only proper way to consume. Seeding as we speak
A lot of coping cucks in this thread, you have 100% wasted your money by the way. And no, you're not rich, and you're still a poorfag retard.
>>214913556I’VE BEEN CAUGHT STEALING ONCEWHEN I WAS FIVE
>>214923583>>214923507I can't imagine having so many nonwhites around that you have to worry about stealing shopping carts. Sounds like a nightmare.
>>214913588Good goyim, good goyim. Nice to see you, to see you, nice.
>>214923583We had this shit too in the US but I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen it.
>>214920789I haven't paid for any media in the past 20 years. Zero streaming subscriptions too. Been file sharing since I was 13. Started with Kazaa moved on to BearShare and been torrenting since 2004. Why I do it? Because fuck Jewish media. Fuck musicians too. Neither acting nor singing is contributing to society. Therefore it's intrinsic value is zero. I'd be willing to see a show live, but since these greedy fucks don't perform for more than 60min recently while charging 200 bucks for a ticket. I'll pass. Sure i support the idea that they can make a living off their stuff, but I don't see how a musician can be worth a billion dollars. Or why actors or that pedophile Spielberg should own a superjacht for coming up with a generic story like Indiana Jones. There should be an agreement similar to patents. After X years it will become public domain and you can't really protect your invention anymore and don't collect money for a station playing your grand dads song. It's a bullshit Jewish system.
>>214920784Stealing from thrift stores is fucked upEspecially someone old enough to like South Park. Don't you have a job?

>>214920194doesn't make much sense, since we're not thieves
>>214927526perpetual copyright has robbed the publici'm not paying a cent to watch shit on youtube
>>214914378I think it's even less than this.Seeding is automatic and costs you nothing.You even have to make an effort, not to seed.For the carts, there's the allure of laziness, subhuman, but less so.
>>214927679Yt-dlp isn't piracy.
shit that should be in the public domain by nowfuck the mouse
>>214915764I vote with my wallet, I pay for kino, and nothing else.If everyone did as I do, we'd have an abundance of kino.
>>214927719i vote with my wallet toohowever, slop engineered to appeal to the lowest common denominator leaves no room for kino when there's money to be made
>>214927679>>214927704That said, your reason for piracy is flawed. Musicians and other entertainers do contribute to society, and deserve every dollar they make for it.
>>214927796i go out of my way to pay creators that make things that i likei go to concerts and buy physical media to help support their arti refuse to pay to watch a movie from the 80s in 2025. where the fuck is that money going? not to the OGs, that's for sure
>>214915764If I enjoy it, I'll buy the Blu ray after, if I don't who cares.
The only media I pirate is pornography. The less money whores can make on camera, the more whores will sell themselves on the streets for cheap.
>>214925985>Only white people pirate>There's definitely no other reason for the massive demographic shift in mediaShalom kike
Im a jeet and i pirate everything. Not giving them a single cent. I dont give a fuck about representation or anything
>>214921772>unfairleftists actually believe this line of logic.
>>214923447Yea i dont get it either. Whats the joke?
>>214928238no we don'tit's bullshit you can't pump your own gas in NJ because laws were enacted to protect that coveted profession
Piracy isn't stealing as movies aren't physical property. I downloaded a code and created a new copy of the media. In order to steal you have to deprive someone of their rightful property, to create a copy of that property is not theft. I will pay to watch movies I enjoy, I will not pay inflated prices for media released 20 years ago, that otherwise would have been and should have been public domain if it wasn't for jewish copyright laws.
>>214915764Oh no, I guess I'll just have to be happy with my 100 years worth of television and film to watch.
>>214921772>Sorry folks, you'll have to find another retail jobNo biggie, I wasn't planning on making a career out of blockbuster anyways.
>>214913469yes. definitely don't become a pirate. someone has to pay
>>214928320piracy is a loaded word cooked up to skew conversation.file sharing or torrenting are neutral.
>>214913469Piracy is gay. If something isn't good enough to pay to watch them it's not worth your time in the first place. Just read the wikipedo article if you need to be able to discuss it at the water cooler.
>>214928320>In order to steal you have to deprive someone of their rightful propertyThey have a right to your money in exchange for their media. Piracy is theft. Make whatever moral argument you want, but piracy is theft.
>>214926445I WALK RIGHTTHROUGH THE DOOOORWALKRIGHTTHROUGHTHEDOOOR
>>214928388they are IP hoarders that have rewritten copyright laws to the point that copyright never expiresregulatory capture is fucking gay, i'm not playing by those rules
>>214928320It's simple supply and demand applied to the digital age. It's the production companies who are living in the past, constantly trying to force the cat back in the bag. They can't cope with the power of Ctrl+C.
No.
None of you even pirate niche or obscure shit. Everything that needed to be seeded is already lost to time, meanwhile you're acting smug because you didn't seed Endgame or some seasonal anime episode. Fuck you.
>>214928423Ok, so your argument is that it's ok to steal from resource hoarders. Personally, I'm neutral on the issue.
>>214928129Nobody said only white people pirate. Liberal whites and flyover country whites pay for things, which is why they have media aimed at them being produced. Angey racist incels pirate, and then can't figure why any media fits their tastes
>>214928388>Their mediaThat's the thing though we're not talking about artist or film makers, were talking about massive corporations buying up the distribution rights to properties they didn't create. Why should companies have the right to copyright media for decades even hundreds of years in some cases? Countless pieces of media should have been made public domain but are not soully so corporations can keep perpetually feeding of of their carcasses. I didn't steal media, I'm taking back media that should've been public property decades ago.
>>214928529>If you do (blank) your angry racist incelIt's funny how glowniggers, kikes, and trannys only have one line of defense.
>>214928534>Why should companies have the right to copyright media for decades even hundreds of years in some cases?Why shouldn't they? They paid the creator to make it.
If you’re shilling paying for (((media))), you’re a complete utter faggot. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
>>214928534These corporations exist because the media is expensive to produce. You have no natural right to something that you didn't fund, buy, inherit, or create. It's only the law that says that old media should be public domain. That same law is being loopholed by the corporations. What you are doing is theft, regardless of how you feel about it morally.
>>214928504i think the law has been twisted beyond it's intentions and no longer serves the general public's interestartists imitate what they admire. a lot of media we value is based on prior media that, in today's legal landscape, would be illegal based on infringment.historically, copyright has always been a body of law that has shopped around for a reason to exist. the modern theory goes that it is to protect creator's time investment and ensure that they and their kin can benefit from effort expended, with the additional assumption that this fosters creativity and acts as an incentive to create more.look at the current media landscape. it's a never ending series of remakes/reboots/reimaginings/sequels/prequels/adaptations from IP that was created in the past 50 years. the Mouse rewrote copyright laws through regulatory capture, and antitrust laws aren't enforced in this country except to punish companies for politically motivated reasons.creativity it fucking dead. everything has to be shoe-horned into Star Wars (C) (TM) (R) of some other franchise, or have no chance at existing.if something comes out today that i want to see, i pay to see it to support the creators and signal what i approve of.if i want to watch something from 30 years ago, i'm going to watch it without paying anyone because i don't know who the fuck the money is going to, and it almost certainly isn't the original creators. i don't support that business model.
>>214923583
>>214928563Because it's a little concept called public domain. Copyright laws can only take affect for so long but corporations find loopholes to keep copyrights perpetually. Movies and music are more than just products their part of our culture and should belong to everyone. There is no reason copyright laws as they stand should exist.
>>214928690i'm glad some people have a functioning brain
>>214928617You’re a retarded faggot, copyright infringement is not theft, stupid moralistic faggot. Go back to plebbit or better yet, kys.
Why are people who seethe about piracy so gay?
>>214928690>Movies and music are more than just products their part of our culture and should belong to everyone.American culture is that everything costs money, you get what you pay for, and if you don't pay, you don't play.
>>214928617>It's ok when corporations do it but when you do it it's theftit's not just a corporation taking advantage of a loophole, there actively stealing from the public by keeping this media out of their hands. In many cases they didn't pay to make it they just paid for the distribution rights. I don't believe art should be seen as nothing but an intellectual property to be tossed between corporations to profit from indefinitely.
>>214928749>listens the the radio Whoa
>>214928722>Copyright infringement is not theftI never said it was. Piracy is theft.>Stupid moralistic faggotMorally speaking, fucking traps isn't gay

>>214928768>Listens to ads on the radio Whoa-oh-oh>>214928754I never said it's ok. Generally, the same action is legal but immoral when done by the powerful, and moral but illegal when done by the powerless
>>214928475I have 10 to 15 movies I can't find using public trackerswhat are my options
>>214913469Nah, I’d say giving your money to kikes who hate you so you can can consoom shitty pozzed goyslop propaganda is a bit more cringey
>>214928855The point is that once it’s out in the public domain it’s free use. I’ve watched enough commercials in my life that I’ve paid more with my time than 95% of the media I’ve seen is worth
>>214928749i was once walking around with grandpa in a mall i thinkcame across a bucket of candy with a sign that said "Free!"grandpa said "nothing is free"true, but that doesn't mean you have zero choice in who to pay
>>214928782Piracy = copyright infringement. You don’t steal anything when you pirate, you obtain an identical copy.
And lo, the Lord beheld the place called 4chan, and He saw that it was vile and filled with iniquity — a den of unclean spirits and lawless speech, wherein the youth of the nations were led astray.And the Lord God, with His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, went forth in righteous wrath; and they made known the hidden names of the facilitators, the enablers, the watchers of filth — yea, the janitors and the moderators who kept the gates of this digital Gomorrah.And their secrets were poured out upon the face of the earth, that all who walked in truth and light might judge them according to their deeds.Thus saith the Lord: "These are the keepers of pestilence, the harbourers of byte-blasphemy and perversion. Let their shame be known, and let them reap the whirlwind which they have sown.Freed from the bonds of such bitchery, it shall come to pass in the latter days, that thou shalt dwell in a pod, narrow and without breadth; and the creeping things of the earth, yea, the locust and the beetle, shalt thou eat for meat.Thou shalt possess naught, neither field nor flock, nor gold nor garment, and yet thou shalt be told, “Ye shall be content.”"

>>214929006Lol, remember when the Ukraine war started and the first thing steam did was lock all of the russian users out of their accounts?
>>214929033Kek didn’t know that, I love how ruskies just host all kinds of content since they dgaf about IP laws.
>>214928552You literally are and you haven't denied it. It's not like you could be anything else kek
>>214928690>>214928720If you don't have copyright laws stuff won't get made. Contrary to what marxists believe, people don't do work for fun.
Shout out vimm’s lair and internet archive
>>214929074Yea kinda like how you didn't deny being a tranny glownigger kike, you retard?

>>214929088Stuff will get made, bot only crappy stuff made by local hobbyists
>>214929104Na I love using every oz of bandwith to make the ISP earn their schmekels.
>>214929088people make art to express themselvesthat being said, a case can be made for copyright, but not for how it exists in 2025.
>>214929088>Stuff wouldn't get madeThe opposite actually more companies would have the right to create content and peoducts for any ip they wanted, copyright and trademark are meant to stifle the production of goods and content not encourage them. If your idea is good then you'll profit, there's a reason games and movies still get sold despite piratebay being a thing.
>>214929108>duude let me spend hundreds or even thousands of hours writing a book or script or song and doing marketing for it and then starve to death so that anon gets his free entertainment
>>214929137People make art to money and that's always been the case. Quit posting troon commie shit on here lol
>>214913469>t. doesn't have access to piracy sourcesenjoy paying for all those streaming services lel
>>214929182i'm pretty sure art is older than token economies
>>214929138I'd like to see star wars by James gunn
>>214929138They literally don't stifle anything, quite the opposite. Creativity comes about from working with limitations, limitless interesting IPs have been created trying to do something similar to an existing property without infringing. It's just completely braindead to think artists shouldn't own their own creations
>>214929161Do you know how much free content artists put out? Also idgaf about authors, grrm singlehandedly killed fantasy series for the forseeable future, enabled by dense dumbass faggots like you.
>>214929088>no more billion dollar blockbusters>no more MMO slopfests>no more media conglomerates>no more restrictions on art>India, China, and Silicon Valley collapse because there's nothing left for AI to steal>just you and your local community making art for cheapwhat a frightening dystopia you've imagined, heeb-sama
>>214927719And it works. Hollywood finally started making movies for men again.
>itt. anons suck jewish media mogul circumsized cock and prepare their jaws and throats for AI slop
>>214929196>brooo people were decorating cave walls before sacrificing animals in them>that's why artists should work for free
>>214929137>>214929182Both are true, and as long as cave painting has existed as a past time, so has trading some of your meat for the better painter to paint your cave (no homo).

>>214929196>>214929234Commies want you living in a favela and think that's heckin wholesome. No, sorry, art handmade by poor people for no monetary gain sucks cock and always will

>>214921772this also applies to the asshole retards complaining about ai
>>214929290true, and the zogbots will tell you to get over yourself
>>214929290Kek, as if can vote against sloppa slurpers. Worked out SPLENDIDLY for vidya fags.
>>214929309ai has to be trained on somethingthe situation is not equalmoreover, it's known that including generated data in your training sets produces worse generative models. hence, there is inherit value in (human) art
There's actually a good argument for getting rid of copyright law but no one here has made it. It's just a couple of troon commies waxing on about how we'll live in a heckin wholesome brown favela with heckin handmade arts and crafts
>>214929281>but muh royalties! This sounds like you're the one who wants everyone but you to live in a favela. Shouldn't you be getting ready for Yom Kippur tomorrow?

I go to my local public libraryI rent DVDs from them ( even new movies) I rent for free i copy them to my computer.victimless crime
>>214929330Until the next revolution in ai. Don't think that the pinnacle of AI will be built on vector calculus.
>>214929315It has though. There’s an ongoing renaissance of indie devs making good games. I will and do happily pay for that
>>214929371Forgot pic
>>214913469why would you want to give your money to Hollywood?
>>214929400the quality of ai generative art will always be subjective in the view of humansregardless, even to get to that point, you have to steal artists' workit's reprehensiblethe only acceptable generative ai for commercial purposes will have to be trained on a self-produced data set. that is, if an artist wants to use ai, they should train it on their own work and no one else's. that's the only ethical thing to do if you want to make money from it.
>>214929417this. the only vidya that's been worth a damn in the past 10+ years has come from indies carrying the torch of innovation
>>214913469Even if you never pirate, you should be glad that piracy exists. It's the only thing preventing streaming companies from being even worse than they already are. They know they have to maintain certain minimum levels of quality or people will take to the high seas. It ensures a level of competition in a market that would otherwise be monopolistic.
>>214929552>minimum level of quality Yay!
>>214917350>Video games got saved by SteamsPC gaming DIED the moment Steam became popular, the golden age of PC gaming was before Steam infested the market.
>>214929595You need to be over 18 to post here.
>>214929595steam has done more to break microsoft's stanglehold on the PC market than even apple
>>214913469Can someone explain to me why there's always some astroturfed thread on this board trying to shame you for pirating stuff? Seems pretty transparent every time I see one of these threads.
>>214929617Yeah anon Steam saved PC gaming by 100% killing the used gaming community, making it so you don't own your games, being forced to use a DRM program that collects and sells your data.But please elaborate, how did Steam "save" PC gaming when the golden age of PC-gaming was before Steam became the norm and still today all the biggest PC games are NOT on steam.Elaborate.
>>214929632(((Media conglomerates))) are DESPERATE. They can’t keep up the charade nor the quality required to expect profits.
>>214929487>You have to steal artists work I don't consider downloading free pictures off the internet, using them for training, then discarding them, to be stealing.
>>214929662>still today all the biggest PC games are NOT on steam.So did it or did it not kill PC gaming?
>>214929677Still waiting for you to elaborate exactly how it saved PC gaming when PC gaming was at it lowest when Steam became the norm
>>214929662>collects and sells your data.Of what value is the knowledge that I've spent 700 hours in Master of Orion 2?
>>214929671if you are trying to profit off a model trained on artists' work, and you did not secure permission to use their work in that way, you are a thief
>>214913469"p-please. Dont pirate it. the billionaire corporation will not make ze bucks if you do it"Fuck you faggot I piracy is freedom and freedom is a right
>>214929727Did you not see the Last Starfighter?
>>214929762kek, fair enough.
>>214929734I just don't see it that way. What's the difference between profiting off a trained model, and profiting off aping someone's style?
>>214929595The timeline matches, but it was really globohomo that destroyed gaming like it destroyed everything.Fuck all orcs, foreign invaders and hook noses
>>214915867>Obviously you do since you respondedReddit nigger
>>214929795Cheekiness aside your habits and time spent has some sort of value to an algo targeting your gaming/spending habits. We’re already in a era of personally targeted ads: Steam does it every time you look at the store
>>214929820i value people over machines
>>214929844Steam was responsible for pre-orders, paid DLC, paid cosmetics, microtransactions, season passes and digital only releases. According to this retard >>214929705
>>214929907lolhe says as he uses itunes, Uber and had no problems with blockbuster dying or taxi cabs failing lol hypocrite
>>214929968Nta but I use the automated checkouts because they don’t require some sort of forced small talk with a retard who’s full-time job it is to scan groceries
>>214929907>I value people over machinesThat doesn't really answer the question. I think you have some romantic view of artists.
>>214929916Valve literally invented battlepasses
>>214930003wow ......holy shit I didn't even think of that. all of us do. no one has a problem with cashiers losing their jobs
>>214930070>for a free2play game
>>214930003>>214930115you don't have to talk to a grocerbut they sure as hell help you check out $250 worth of groceries x5 faster than a person paid to watch you do their work and make sure you don't steal anything
>>214929088Nah just not as many things would get made, which I think would be an improvement from now where there's so much junk churned out to make a paycheck.When no one is able to get paid, the only media that does get made are autistic passion projects.
>>214929221Well currently, artists don't own their creations in most of the popular media. Companies do.
>>214929968>>214930004services aren't typically thought of as vehicles of personal expressionpeople perform services to earn money to support themselvesyou can argue that a musician performing at a wedding is simply offering a servicebut they are also a member of the community and any musician capable of perfecting their art invariably has personal interest in music outside of service performeddoes a machine have a personal interest in anything?can a machine create pleasing art in a vacuum?does a machine need to make a living?on the other hand, would you call someone that can't play an instrument a musician? i'd call them a critic at best.i'll admit, this is a gut feeling, and i need to think more about crafting an argument. but my gut says that mechanically amassing human made artwork in mass and turning around to produce imitations with no real connection to the original process that made that artwork, nor any connection to the artists and communities that fostered the creation of that artwork, is inherently wrong. i'm fine with having laughs on image boards, but a line is crossed when trying to profit off of it.by using artist's work to train a model, you are acknowledging the value of that artwork, only to turn around and spit in the face of the people that produced it by displacing it with a mass produced machine that spits out interpolated data sets. it's like a doppleganger. i don't value what a machine "thinks". i value what people think. i don't want to erode what it means to be human anymore than we already have in this fucked up world.
>>214930383I think your bias is more towards artists over engineers, rather than people over machines. Every point you just made for the artist applies equally so for the engineer who made the machine.
>>214930507i have a PhD in electrical engineeringi realized people like my advisor really undervalue artist when he wanted to pay someone $50 bucks to make a blender animation to sell our idea. i knew that was unrealistic, so i took initiative and made a blender animation myself. this was before dall-e had made major breakthroughs that presaged the current ai boom.machine learning is here to stay. i know that. but i think there are good uses and problematic uses, and i have a strong sense of what those are and live by those principles.
>>214923583never paid for shit in my entiere life. our carts just have a system that locks if you go beyond a perimeter.
i'll add, i recently went to watch the Animation Mixtape hosted by Don Hertzfeld.in his sketch, he used ai generation heavily. it was the first time i've seen that at the movies. i was of the opinion that an ai generated movie might be mezmerizing, but after seeing an example of it, it totally turned me off to the idea because of how low effort and awful it was.
>>214913469>tfw i look like basedjak and still get swallowed
>>214921712>doesnt careyou know quasimodo predicted all of this

>>214915572>T.butt hurt soi boi
>>214913469Since jewllywood doesn't hire me, why shouldn't I pirate from them?They caused me lost revenue from not hiring me; I am doing the same
I DDL cached torrents from servers I've got access to. So much easier. I only open up my torrent client like twice a year.
>>214913469I'm a member on PTP and now I have lots of friends who are always asking me for movies. I have an 8TB drive for movies, I seed, and I currently have over 20,000,000 points. I could make any movie freeleech by myself right now if I wanted to.
stealing everything makes it that much more painful when you do have to pay. 70 buckaroonis for battlefield holy

>>214930383>T. Butt hurt soi boiLearn to code, dude
Is it even possible to get invites anymore just casually and nonchalantly?The only way I've heard about is to go through some crazy grovelling process involving IRC chats or some such outlandish nonsense and I ain't doin any of that. Fuck that.

>>214928563It wasn't their ideas.Ip should belong to the employees that made it
>>214927661>doesn't make much sense, since we're not thievesOrcs actually are thieves and the hook noses worship them
>>214913469I never download anything but I watch everything on streaming sites, just like Sydney Sweeney does lol
>>214931777the argument goes that a creator can sell the rights to their work to make bank.i don't have a problem with thati do have a problem with copyright that never expires
>>214928587>If you’re shilling paying for (((media))), you’re a complete utter faggot. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.You're only half right.If some old based early era huWite kino receives an HD scanned blu-ray upgrade you'll still pirate it and so will I....for the simple reason that I can...and it saves me money...
The problem is that unless you are into super popular things, it's almost impossible to seed old stuff.
>>214928300This is literally leftist economics though? This is what RDJ did that leftists univerally praise him for. Useless jobs to pay the unemployed and keep them busy. The entire democrat party today is about recreating the new deal in which he literally paid people to dig holes then another group of people to fill it. In that cartoon, these leftists are literally describing the invention of superior technology as unfair competition.
>>214931917Yes but I am perfectly willing to pay for kino I enjoy and want to actually own, remember dvd background commentary and deleted scenes? The box art and actual content they had to bundle to get you to buy their slop and not pirate? Now they just expect it since cucks like itt exist.
>>214931960I had no idea Robert Downey Junior was able to set economic policy.
>>214931960It's almost like creating jobs helps the economy. Last time I checked the right's plan of creating massive unemployment isn't working out great.
>>214932012It's amazing what you can accomplish when you kick your expensive drug habit.
>>214929221>artists shouldn't own their own creationIts just like>>214930332 said, most of the time the company owns the rights to and receives most of the profit from artist work. If copyright laws werent a thing and free trade was allowed then artist would actually own their art.
>>214932045nonsense, destroying our economic ties with the rest of the world is going to bring manufacturing jobs back to america. people are laughing at us.
>>214932045>It's almost likeStop talking like a woman. Man up and speak directly with finality and conviction.
>>214932045>>214932083Yeah we should just endlessly borrow money to pay immigrants to do menial jobs as American citizens become homeless drug addicts on the streets!
>>214932102the us can't be first in the world if it is not willing to lead the world
>>214932045I love that you went "we don't think like that" to actually its a "really great idea to make streaming movies illegal to create dvd rental jobs and heckin netflix is evil but also it doesn't work if its a tarrif for some reason even though leftists were fighting for tarrifs before Trump agreed with them on the concept"
