Can we not become subreddit by posting this shitty screenshots trying to justify our reasons? Just share your media and enjoy it.

what do you mean trying to justify? discussion of shitty anti consumer tactics in digital media is perfectly valid

A screenshot of some comment is not really discussion though. This is a pretty base level understanding of the concept, which is why I say it's more cope then actual discussion.

This is one of the most popular posts this week here with more than 4 HUNDRED comments. I don't know what you view as a discussion but I think this was a pretty successful attempt at creating one.

I will say this thread had way more discussion then I was expecting when I originally posted this. My point about the screenshot still stands, I would much prefer we discuss something new related to sharing media, instead of recycling the same discussion about why its justified to copyright infringe.

I was gonna say the same thing but then I saw the 2200-something upvotes.

This community is doomed to be exactly like the low effort meme sub r/piracy if people keep upvoting this lazy content.

My headcanon is that it's a passive form of protection: when copyright owners look to communities like piracy they are met with highly upvoted silly memes, which would cause them to miss the more helpful pirate advice mixed within.
