     @MoeBritannica Piracy is always morally correct. These 'people' hate you and everything you stand for. Ignore their bullshit propaganda, take what you, and leave nothing behind.

     Not transformative... no shit, the purpose is preservation.
     Go tell every museum that carries replicas, that their content is not transformative, so they have to shut it down.
     Fuck these people, pirate everything.

     @MoeBritannica This is why you should always download if you have the space. It is extremely naïve to think that the media you want is always going to be online.

     What's great about their selective disclosure is that the “losses” aren't to the national nor global economies but rather to the small group of already wealthy studios and producers which actually profit from this pirated content.

     It's not like the jobs aren't going to be made or paid, the only loss is their profit margin.

     This is purely rich people crying about not taking more money from their flock.

     If I pirate something, it's because I wasn't going to pay for it at all.

     @MoeBritannica I was never faced with a more blatant act of artificial scarcity than finding a book i want on Internet Archive and being forced to "borrow" it instead of being allowed to download it.
     
     It happened once to a book that was over a century old.
     
     The grandchildren of the author are probably already dead and there is still some asshole trying to make money off his back.

     @MoeBritannica Everyone complaining about this has never actually used OpenLibrary and it shows. You would have to individually download each of their DRMed book PDFs one at a time after waiting for availability (a week average wait I'd say) and then go through the hassle of removing the DRM of whatever you downloaded. There's no API and pages are laid out inconsistently so automation would be a pain in the ass to say the least.

     So I can make a copy of works I own for purposes of backup. I can also lend out the original and still possess the backup. But I can't lend out the backup and possess the original. Makes sense. 🙄

     I love how they calculate the costs, as if everyone who pirates would actually pay if piracy wasn't possible.

     @MoeBritannica I'm sorry but how the fuck is the music industry losing tens of thousands jobs over piracy? Last I checked for the most part most musicians are on just about every major music streaming service out there, not all split up like TV/movies. I haven't needed to pirate music, nor have I known anyone who pirates music for at least a decade.
     
     The handful of music that I or most people I know personally don't pay for is the kinda fringe stuff that's just up for a free download anyways.
