Piracy is only okay for AI companies.
For people who hate the government, they sure like using it to oppress everyone else.
Yup, all “rules for thee, not for me” isn’t it?
Meta, X, and ChatGPT have all automated mass piracy of art, music, articles, and anything their genAI touches. Surely you mean to start there?
They want to lock down file sharing so no one else can use the data to build AI now that they have it
Its only illegal when peasants do it, not when billionaires do it. *
*it being anything.

An who decides what is piracy? The facists? This is a bad idea.
Oh we’re voting on shit again? Let’s vote on Kegsbreath’s impeachment then.
We know they think corporations are people, but they’re not the only people they should be serving.
It’d really be nice if “Huh. This protects corporate interests more than taxpayer interests. Denied.” was a thing in government.
Then they’d try to get around it by paying lots of taxes!
There are literally open DNS providers who run their own networks. Good luck.
Piracy keeps the poors occupied and busy so they don’t riot. There’s no blood left to squeeze from that rock, they’re not going to buy streaming. Games are in decline as systems die of go outdated, and corporate erodes the quality of development.
They’re idiots if they push this bill in earnest.
Look what happened the last time people had too much time on their hands (Covid). And everyone has a lot more to pissed about, now.
I have a seedbox in a country that gives no fucks, so I’ll just use a DNS provider in a country that gives no fucks. You can make it harder, but you can’t make it impossible.
And it’s not like it’s so much harder to press a few extra buttons. Bonus: you’re safer online, so if anyone wants to go down the road, they’ll just be safer online.
They’re all a bunch of fucking idiots, the people making these bills.
Wish people would realize they are NOT idiots.
This erodes privacy and allows character assassinations on anyone who wants to be safe and/or private by using those VPN that do not comply. Is your mega ISP really going to stand up for your rights under this? Can you really get a new ISP at the “press of a few buttons”?
You aren’t the only one here not understanding how “this doesn’t directly affect me” bc you have the technical skills to avoid it. It does affect you, even if only by the chilling effect of it being more difficult to discuss online.
Well, they are idiots, for “as long as men die, liberty will never perish”. But that doesn’t mean they are harmless, we do need to push back against anything like this, not just allow it to happen because “I can press a few buttons”
I use those to train my AI though. It’s not piracy if there’s money.
“Sonarr has escaped containment 😱!!!”
It was openai or meta that claimed because they didn’t seed the torrent that it wasn’t really piracy.
So piracy only starts becoming bad when it takes the form of communism/socialism lol.
The theft for a major corperation? Thats just good ol reliable capitalism.
