This isn't about "art". That's a disingenuous argument. What if the monopoly is keeping a live-saving medicine prohibitively expensive, because people are just greedy. Or some other thing that modern lives are based around - not "art". In some cases the choice is buy the thing from the monopoly, or die, or be jobless or some other kind of calamity. We're not talking about hanging art on a wall to look at.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt is literally about art. People need to stop exaggerating piracy to life essentials if they want to be taken seriously. No, I will not blame a homeless dude who grabs a few pieces of food from a grocery store. It can be literal life or death. I can't say the same about someone who "needs to play GTA V" (it was already free at some points. So you're not just entitled but inefficient in your frugality). we can take down big pharma first and then worry about DRM on media you want to consume. It's not all or nothing.
