Don't be anywhere near the center. Don't make any arguments about corporations providing value. Don't try to report violent tankie content. Don't point out that lemmy is just going to end up like forums because of power mods and admins defeding people they don't like. And don't call piracy stealing. People really don't like when you call them thieves.

And don't call piracy stealing.

The companies should make it nice and easy for us to watch everything in one place, in high quality, from any device, for nice and cheap! ...oh, that was Netflix a decade ago ☹️

Pretty difficult to convince the likes of minds on Lemmy to pay $100 for every streaming service in the world - to get a pretty awful experience, when you can get a much, much better experience without giving up your hard earned $$

I will fly my flag high for the free seas 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🚢

My position is I'll pay for it within reason but at some point it's ridiculous. Like I can't really be bothered to pay for all of Apple TV just so I can watch For All Mankind it's not worth it.

I never said it isn't sometimes deserved.

Know what you are doing and own it. You don't like the means of distribution or price and you are stealing the right to distribution from them and very much taking money out of someone's paycheck.

I go the opposite, IP is theft. All of it. Drug patents being the most harmful.

🙄👌👍

Everyone should work for free with no payoff. Got it.

I don't believe that and I patronize content producers. I think we can find better ways to reward inventors and creators, ways that don't just benefit corps and the politicians they pay off.
