I don’t think anybody here is siding with ISPs. We’re just happy to hear that they’re having difficulties policing piracy.

When I say individual rights I mean any and all rights an individual has or should have. In the case of piracy, an individual should have a right to entertainment media at a reasonable cost. The more corporations increase the cost of media access, the more piracy proliferates. In the case of AI, an individual should have the right to earn a living. Corporations are using the works of individuals to ultimately increase their own profits without due compensation to the individual.

I don’t know how you got to pro conservative capitalism from a single anti-corporatist statement, but it likely took you several leaps of logic that I’m not going to even try to follow.

It’s almost as if the people here favor individual rights over corporate profits.

You’re not wrong, but when you compare the general perspective of baby boomers vs the general perspective of Millennials/Zoomers, you can at least see that there now exists a will for change.

Some of y’all didn’t grow up in the southeastern US and it shows.

Not all of the teachers in my school were unreasonable narcissistic sadists, but about half of them were.

I think I saw that on Crunchyroll

Maybe the cat was a Japanese businessman in a former life.

I’m a plate DPS main and I married a healer. There is a lot of pressure to ‘just tank’ for her.

You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.

Quit flying that drone over my lawn.
