Not a great example because very few guns will be used to kill people whereas an overwhelming majority of the users of this software will use it to view pirated material.
- number6 1y agoCars and speed limits then? Most if not all cars will violate the speed limit - without them it is also virtual impossible to break them
- fp64 1y agoCars primary purpose which the majority of people are using them for is not breaking the speed limit.
- number6 1y agoWhile most people may not see breaking the speed limit as the primary purpose of their car, the way cars are designed, especially marketed and used in everyday life normalizes and even encourages exceeding posted speeds. This makes speeding not an edge case, but a central, majority use case in practice. Ok, that's not actually what I believe, I don't even know if you could make this argument. This is just for the arguments sake, sorry.
