Well

Stealing is not cool

piracy is evidence of poor services when it comes to online shit

Anime is expensive, the legal services are inconvenient/bad, and if anime is making any money anywhere, it's in japan. not the US

or canada

And I don't mean this lightly, I think one of my core beliefs is that all media should be free I think copyright and trademarks/IP law are cancer

Patents are the only place where it's even sort of applied right

and even there

it's a mess some of the time

I have no problem with things costing money, but I think they fix shit is by offering official demos for all games

you can't make ideas cost money

sure I can, and I will explain how for 5 dollars

the same way you (shouldn't be able to) copyright colours

but you can

You're not gonna get anything quality if it's free

nobody works for free spooky

ideas

not actual shit

so games are ideas

So

You want it so every property is free

and any studio

can make a game on any property

And there are ways to monetize just abut anything

40 SKYRIMS

no, Max I think the right to monetize something should be reserved

I get what you're saying (commie scum), but you know what happens when you loosen the restrictions too much

people can make their own Skyrim, sure but Bethesda is the only one that can legally profit off the IP

oh

so you just

ok

i understand

I don't so is what you want is no upfront cost for games but alternative monitization models

I think, it should be legal for you, me, or anyone else

Ok now i understand spooky but I still don't agree with you spooky

Sounds real scummy

No Pika, they still charge for it

bitcoin miners in the games

ez money

don't actually charge $0.00

I think Disney should retain the right to soley monetize Mickey Mouse forever

But I think; if we wanted, we should be able to animate Mickey Mouse fucking Donald Duck

can you imagine the insane amount of shovelware that would pop up if anyone could make content under any currently popular IP

as long as we make no money off doing so

so

i can be fine with that to be fair

Okay, so what you want is stronger fair use such that it is free game to use anything so long as you do not make a profit

thats how it should be

to not let people like

nintendo

fuck shit up

That's a better way to explain part of my view

yes Pika

case example the multi year projects

shut down in seconds by nintendo

I don't know how that relates to torrenting games though spooky

And I'm not sure why you say shovelware would be any worse if it was some shitty drawing of Mario, versus what it is now

Shovelware is shovelware

seems like a tangential topic

torrenting is inherently the reproduction of content, for no cost

except the old 3DS freeshop, that's the one place where I think it was legit stealing

See, I agree with you on the freedom to use IP, you lose me there. I think preventing people from mass reuploading content like that is a needed evil. I think if torrenting games became the norm the logical step to combat that is more scummy microtransaction monitization methods

Take music Pika

instead of games

Music piracy was the sinlge biggest source of P2P activity

for more than a decade

it's almost at zero now, despite being easier than ever

the profit is also higher than ever

Because they gave up after things like youtube replaced the need to torrent music

I don't think (maybe I'm wrong) that most people consume music on YouTube

Music videos, sure

spotify

and itunes

a lot of music has billions of views

Pandora as well

are the biggest providers of music

youtube doesnt even come close

Satellite Radio

niche streaming services too

All that shit contributes to why piracy is down all well. Having a ton of easy to use services disincentives piracy
