This line of reasoning seems more or less equivalent to "movie piracy will exist one way or another, therefore I should be allowed to launch a commercial Netflix competitor which streams movies without paying the studios". Just because it's possible to appropriate content doesn't mean we should just give up and put it in the public domain, that's obviously not sustainable.
- BriggyDwiggs42 3y agoActually that sounds great. Commercial piracy netflix competitor please and thank you.
- jsheard 3y agoSounds great until the entertainment industry collapses because the inconvenience barrier which kept piracy at reasonable levels vanishes, with every theatre, TV channel and streaming service suddenly no longer paying for anything they show. I think you know that's not going to work.
- BriggyDwiggs42 3y agoYeah, but wouldn’t it be a heck of a lot of fun
