Yeah, no, I don't buy this facile argument. Closest I can come up with is either an all-you-can-eat buffet you have a membership to, or Costco, and turning up one day and there's no pasta or burgers. And they say "sorry, Olive Garden/McDonalds bought the rights to that food and we can no longer serve it". It's absurd.
Rights-holders absolutely deserve to get paid. But weaponizing that? Sorry, they lost me.
- robertoandred 7y agoThat doesn't mean you're entitled to getting Olive Garden and McDonalds for free.
- guitarbill 7y agoI definitely would buy bootleg pasta though... I don't think OP is making the argument piracy = free = good. Just that if everything else is worse or broken, people will prefer piracy (and argument put forward in many other comments on this post)
- robertoandred 7y agoPeople who want things for free will prefer getting them for free. Shocker. Everything being "worse or broken" is just at attempt at justification. Again, just because you don't feel like paying for something doesn't mean you're entitled to it for free.
