You skipped the “even slightly” bit.
Piracy is very much anything goes. People post “commentary streams” where someone else’s YouTube video or even whole movies are shown in their entirety and there’s basically zero backlash from millions of fans. From what I can see the vast majority of Americans take no issue with what IA did.

- Retric 2y agoRevealed preferences say otherwise. If the general public shoplifted as frequently as they pirated content convince stores wouldn’t exist. Most people respect private property on some level, but copyright just doesn’t get that same respect.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Revealed preferences say otherwise I’ve pirated content. That doesn’t mean I believe copyright should be eliminated. There is widespread dissatisfaction with our current system of copyright. That doesn’t imply support for abolishment.
