anime

maybe this thinking breaks everything, idk

It does

If everyone thought like that internet commerce would not exist

does the file hold value if say I am the only person in the world who owns a digital copy of the album, and I offer to sell you a copy of my digital goods for 5 dollars

would you download a car rusp?

there are ways to make it work, but by in large I agree Rusp

people wouldn't adapt fast enough

I would download a car

I would totally download a car

correct answer

downloaded

I own this car now

NO

LET GO OF THE GIRL

I think the solution to digital goods is collectively everyone has to pay a certain amount before the file is released

then it is free

interesting, I like it

neat idea

because my thought experiment you did not respond to made me think

obviously if only 1 person has a digital copy, it has value if you want to sell access

so if you force people to collectively pay say, 500k, before you release it

then it holds value until released

so kickstarter

yes

kickstarter

but the product is actually released

product is done, you hold consumers at gunpoint to use it

Kickstarter is a shit system 90% of the time

I don't think a majority of people agree with me

I'm aware of that

I understand where you are coming from

What I've gathered from all this is that spooky got busted for downloading 50k gb of cp and wants to justify it to us

I just think it is a necessary evil that digital goods cost money since we have no better system in place

But the entirety of human knowledge is stored online the entirety of our collective culture, our art, our media, our ideas, and whatever other bullshit catch-alls fit here I think it's crazy the amount of paywalling that goes on, but I realize that it's the system we have now,

and I also think there is no moral or ethical reason not to steal said content

as I said, I am a staunch supporter of the idea that a service that is good will be payed for

as long as the service is better then the alternative (piracy)

I think digital media is a battle I'm on the wrong side of, even though it's what I believe

intelectual property however

fuck intelectual property

^

fuck patents, fuck IPs, fuck trademarks, fuck it all

Intelecutal property though, that's good shit

yeah

I think the solution we should come to is banning the creation of new things

and make all old things public domain

I think we should create more legal bullshit to inconvenience you

legal bullshit already does not inconvenience me

so

Him more so, but you also

Make the police more militant and petty

I mean, law is not going to stop either of us

IT takes me 10 seconds to clear a background check to buy a gun

that's the maximum inconveniance I deal with

spooky can still walk on school ground

proof the law is ineffective

Yeah, clearly the background check wasn't fucking good enough

institute a Discord check

dude, if they had to check out discord accounts to buy a gun

I'd still not want a gun

so it does not matter

IP law doesn't even affect me that much, but it's such a dead weight holding back creativity

patents are moreso just annoying

Said every jew and chink ever

jews want ip laws

what the fuck are you on

patents don't stop China

who runs disney

Yes, and they also want to steal shit

they do that by having enough money to just own everything

you can't steal shit, if you make it public domain

Disney didn't make 90% of the shit they "own"

and yeah China will never not just steal everything because you can't go to chinese court to sue as an american

because they do not give a shit

but guys, Bopit's going to be tried in Japan

for torrenting anime

So fuck the chinese

I am going to be honest spooky

bopit being scared of that reminded me of my cousin who was scared she'd go to jail for reading cp because one of her female porn stories involved a 14 year old girl
