Children can commit crimes too.
It's funny, because now in the age of AI, many of the people that support piracy are now trying to stop AI companies from doing the same thing.
- bravetraveler 8mo ago'Same thing', hah. This was edited out, but I'm quoting it anyway: > I should trot out all of the justifications here. I'll start: personal use instead of profit. Certainly a difference, not convinced justification is required or even advisable.

- mikkupikku 8mo agoA child stole a candy bar from my shop, time to bankrupt his whole working class family! ^ sociopathic legalists really do think this way.
- Shadowmist 8mo agoThat child was just a fan of chocolate!
- mchaver 8mo agoChildren are afforded more lenience in sane societies (before the law and in social contexts) because they are still developing and not as well socialized/experienced as adults. I assume most pro-piracy people support personal use and not commercial use of content.
- charcircuit 8mo agoThe issue is that child labor laws encourage children to pursue cybercrime if they want to make money since legitimate companies will not hire them. This results in a lot of incentive for children to commit cybercrime such as piracy and without the disincentive of punishment they are free to do it. These 2 things are incentivizing antisocial behavior in society.
- themafia 8mo agoWe support copyright reform not piracy. The reason we do is because corporate giants have weaponized the system for their own ends and not for our useful promotion of the arts and sciences. So.. I don't think it's appropriate for billion dollar companies to abuse copyrighted authored material for their own profit streams. They have the money. They can either pay or not use the material.
- tliltocatl 8mo agoThe only copyright reform I support is abolishing this abomination altogether.
- otterley 8mo agoI assume you do not write software to earn a living?
- tliltocatl 8mo agoI do. And I get paid because I write it fulfill to the customer's need that's not covered by an existing solution, not because some law prevents using what already exists.
- otterley 8mo agoAnd if that was stolen by someone else to give to other customers for free, how might that impact you?
- tliltocatl 8mo agoIt wouldn't impact me at all. Without our hardware it is useless. And customers need certifications, support and availability guarantees. Customers aren't paying shit for code. They don't need code. They need solution to their problems. Of which my code is a very small (if critical) part of. And yes, that's totally irrelevant. Because the mere fact that some people depend on some evil for their living doesn't justify its existence.
