As opposed to cheating as an insider trader who manipulates markets with yo-yo tariffs.

Surprisingly edited by MIT press. It was the MIT police which referred Aaron Swartz to federal prosecutors for piracy. He was hounded to death.

I doubt the reduction in content made would affect us badly. Certainly wouldn’t affect me. Most musicians I listen to do not make a living from their music and the ones that do are subsidized heavily by government grants.

Commercialisation of the arts has been an overall negative IMO because it lures audiences into trashiness and away from the quality.

You could argue that removing copyright would take us back to when only mobility could afford the time or have the connections to be commissioned but having connections is already a big factor.

Even if you don’t agree with that you may agree with a UBI ushering in a Renaissance of the arts as suggested by Brian Eno in this 4 minute video.

Yeah that one (off Italy coast) ended up being blown up by authorities. There was a movie about it.

So the person you are downloading from is breaking the law but you are not. Odd law but I envy your situation.

I don’t trust that the lawyers weren’t bribed.

Look at the Men At Work plagiarism case regarding Land Down Under. That was a transformative work yet the band lost the case to the estate of a nursery rhyme.

Isn’t the download a share?

MP3’s sped up copying of music. As for games though, they increased in size because of CD’s so that countered any speed up.

Thanks. Gives me hope. Would you also say the males are less constrained by the macho culture of older generations? More capable of talking about emotions?

And women less constrained by their own old stereotypes?

younger people today are skilled in ways could have only dreamed of.

Any examples?

Sorry, I didn’t read the article. Thanks for picking me up on it.

I just use my Brave browser which avoids ads and doesn’t require login but I see now that FreeTube offers a few customisation features and allows you to import your subscriptions.

And there are privacy benefits too. With Freetube your watch history is stored only on your computer, not YouTube’s servers

Really? I imagine it is free because FreeTube collect data on you.

Isn’t this exactly like the original YouTube?

They get users to provide free content with the impression it is a genuine grassrots community then when the site becomes popular enough they cash in. imdb was like this too.
