You buy a game not just to play it but also to support developers. If you don't give a shit about this part you can always pirate it. By telling the company you will no longer use their product you are sending a clear cut message about

Do people stop doing crimes because laws have made it illegal. I am saying there is no point trying to stop what is inevitable instead our energies are better spent trying to understand how best to navigate an online world without any priva

Do people really think any of this is ever going to change? Governments don't give a shit, they time and again say they won't do something only to later do it in secret. We should at this point accept that this isn't going to

Well Netflix formula is throw a bunch of stones in the ocean and see what sticks and then make more of it. Its a bad strategy because users waste time watching content they would rather not watch. HBO imo is the only platform that focus on

My rule of thumb regarding watching content is: if its only 1 movie or tv show I want to watch just pirate it, if its more than one on a streaming platform subscribe to it. I subscribe to netflix just once a year to watch everything I want

Well that is service vs non service model. For example lets say you buy a ebook from Amazon. You expect the book to stay with you forever. It costs Amazon next to nothing to transfer the 5mb of book data I need to read the book. Compare tha

It is bad idea for one company(whatever it maybe) to be gatekeeper of the web. Thing is in today's world it is more a question of when rather than if. And it seems like there is nothing we can do about it except not be part of it. Even

So it costs 99$ a month. I guess by Western standards that low but in India I pay roughly 50$ for 3 months 150mbps internet at 600gb per month. The 1 tb per month package costs 60$ for 3months. I guess they won't be launching anytime s

If that is the case the way it supposed to happen is a directive from regulator body(SEC maybe) should go out saying stop trading of this shares. Lack of regulations and no word on why certain shares are not tradable isn't acceptable a

They didn't monetize it because in countries like India if you were to monetize it most users would stop using the app. This I guess is the alternative. Thing is there is no reason to believe others apps won't do the same in the f

We probably need to remove conflict of interest in the laws they want to be passed, but how we do that is anyone's guess. A good place to start will be to add regulations on the process of lobbying, but the whole thing can get pretty c

I guess we sort of need a p2p content sharing platform that uses some kind of technology to make things like DMCA's impossible or irrelevant. We are at a point where laws are hindrance and nuisance.
