" No value is lost when a digital good is duplicated. The only thing lost in this case is an opportunity."
I know this is a popular justification for piracy, but surely you can see that a lost opportunity is in fact lost value.
- masklinn 14y ago> a lost opportunity is in fact lost value. I know this is a popular justification for curtailing liberties, but surely you can see that this makes no actual sense.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoSo now it's "curtailing liberties" to ask someone to pay for value they are provided. Right.
- masklinn 14y agoYou seem to have no issue ascribing ideas they have never written to people who reply to your comments. I therefore assume (and assumed) you are in full and complete agreement with the various *AA over the handling of piracy. Including but not limited to rights-restriction, network monitoring, traffic shaping and mass legal threats. Also, your comment was idiotic and I was spinning it the other way 'round to demonstrate this.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoYour assumptions are completely incorrect. I support none of those things. I do support content creators being compensated in the manner and amounts they choose to ask. These are different things.
