Bittersweetheart Transtifathe people who kept telling us that movie piracy is a serious crime don't actually seem all that interested in paying people for making movies.
Chupacabra 78704@anathematrix good call.
Semi Sentient AI Cooling Water@anathematrix You wouldn't downstream an internet!
You wouldn't replace an actor with an algorithm?!

PJ "Vote Green" CoffeyOh, you saw the article where the studios proposed to pay an extra for one day of work and then scan their likeness and use it royalty free on an ongoing basis too?
@Homebrewandhacking @anathematrix This one? Yup. So now an acting career is going into a CGI AI studio for the afternoon then it's over?

@Newrulesnewlife @anathematrix Thanks for making this .

Pete Wright@anathematrix this is what cemented my opinion on torrenting not being unethical - i and all my friends who worked their asses off only to later find out this was happening:

Also mgmt was strongly pushing us not to unionize around this time 🤔

Frank Endrullat 🌻@anathematrix @Viss Is it piracy if, apparently, you don’t own what you pay for?
Curioso 🍉 🇺🇦 (jgg)Oh, we have to pay them, because a rising tide lifts all boats.
Unless owners want to raise their benefits. Then most boats have to get lower. Don't worry, they aren't drowning. They must have gills already, the way most of them live.
Amy (she/her/hers)@anathematrix it was never about the piracy, it was always about greed
Karyx Dragon@anathematrix Or using the streaming subscriptions to make the shows people want to see, judging by how Netflix and Paramount+ and others have been culling popular series for the tax relief.
EndlessMason@anathematrix you wouldn't download a class solidarity
Jay@anathematrix “You wouldn’t download a writer!”
apophis@anathematrix you wouldn't download the unpaid labour of your workers
juv3nal@anathematrix "you wouldn't download an equitable compensation package"
Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)@anathematrix "You wouldn't digitally clone an actor…"

Crazy Pony@anathematrix they are probably the people who make the money from selling the movies that other people have made for them
Melroy van den Berg@anathematrix owno! You just told the real truth..
vadergb@anathematrix @thatKomputerKat the hypocrisy of movie bosses on massive salaries aiming at (imho) essentially stealing lesser actors livings by a one off payment for their likeness. Give me a real analog scene of real people over CGI/AI NPCs every time.
GeofCoxThose 'copyright infringement is theft' notices really annoy me.
If you take my loaf of bread or my car, I don't have them anymore. That's theft. If I lend you my album or movie, and you copy it, I still have it (it's 'non-rival' as the lawyers say) - that's NOT theft.
OK, you might have gone out and bought the album or whatever if I hadn't lent it to you, which might have given a tiny benefit to those sharing that extra profit. Just as when I lend my neighbours my lawnmower, or invite them round to dinner, maybe I deprive some lawnmower manufacturer or shop or farmer a tiny part of their income. But nobody calls that 'theft'.
Indeed, we really need to buy less and share more, not only for environmental reasons, but because sharing is a good, natural part of human life.
If a huge multinational's business model depends on curtailing good, wholesome aspects of human life - then maybe it should change its business model?
Infosec V'ger@anathematrix @Nonya_Bidniss Someone with the skills needs to make a graphic “You wouldn’t avoid paying writers” or words of similar effect.
Stu Duerson, machina exo deusI think we can dub that "The Mnuchin Effect."
EyalL@anathematrix you wouldn't download an actor
Aviva Gary@anathematrix It is almost like they are... no it couldn't be... 😏
