AlonealastalovedalongtheIts funny that it got labelled piracy like how pirates used to sail up to poor defenseless ships, forcefully board them and then copy the entire ship and sail away with the copy leaving the original ship to go on its way.

Yeah, even calling it piracy is wrong.
It's not piracy, it's just copying something which someone else claims you don't have the necessary permission to do.
cybercow@Alonealastalovedalongthe @kankervantas Or that people keep talking about intellectual property like they’d have the right to keep you from thinking about it.

Theft removes the original
Piracy makes a copy
river@kankervantas I think you are describing copyright infringement which is not piracy. It doesn't involve violence and taking things. The copyright industry wanted to make it sound as bad as killing people but we don't need to keep using that term.
io@kankervantas I've honestly never found this explanation useful. Most people understand this. It's different stuff like DRM or whether piracy is moral in the first place.
Joseph@kankervantas then what? Sure it's not theft, but how do you resolve the livelihood problem?
SwindlerOfInsanity@joegrimer @kankervantas Ive been thinking about this lately. One method that comes to mind is the bottled water model. Tap water is pretty much free but people pay extra money for bottled water. Sometimes for convience other times for premium taste or whatever. Point is people are willing to pay for something that is given away for almost free. The same principal can probobly be applied to creative works.
@SwindlerOfInsanity @kankervantas I would prefer a world like that to be honest, if it could work. And hey, people said ebay couldn't work and they were wrong.
Copyright (especially the 100 years thing) strikes me as culturally quite an ugly thing.
