It’s so depressing how quickly as a society we crossed the Rubicon from “plagiarism is bad” to “mass everyday use of the plagiarism machine is good and inevitable and if you don’t get with the program you’re worthless.”
It’s so hard to be a person attempting to live with integrity in this world at this time. The grind is just constant.
Not so long ago #hackers and #progressives
battle cry was "Information wants to be free!"
Pirating movies and books and filling their hard-drives with #Napster and #p2p tools with #mp3
#Kevin_Mitnick, one of the protohackers got years of jailtime for "PIRATING MANUALS OFF THE SYSTEM HE HACKED!!!"
Its only when the #oligarchs joined the fun and started ingesting their furry yiffing star-trek fanfiction blogs when they became champions of #copyright protection 😑
If you live long enough, you see your heroes become villains and vice versa.
