The topic of #piracy is complex
How do we reward #artists, but not predatory #media corps?
But even the most diehard anti-piracy opinions out there can get behind this:
If you must watch the new #HarryPotter adaptation, which I will not link to nor describe where it is:
#Pirate it
If you don't, you are funding a vile #TERF in #JKRowling who will use that money to harm #trans people
Everyone else can watch #SNL:
it doesn't matter. it's about sending a message. the only thing that will make corporations exclude jk rowling is making her unprofitable. boycotts work. maybe a boycott here won't make big enough of a dent as you surmise, but any dent is worth pursuing, and people do listen to the deserved stink over her vile hate. so we shall make the biggest stink we can
there's other ways to make noise
it's not just a boycott, it's a repertoire of rejection. a boycott does not need to stand alone. and it does matter
Rowling and her shit books can fuck all the way off into the heart of the sun.
until she is irrelevant, ignored, broke
which might take some time, but it is her deserved fate
and those who say it will never come to pass need to understand justice is a thing in this world, and it is worth pursuing
@benroyce Well, exactly.
This has been the case as long as YouTube has existed, by the way. Not a recent thing at all.
@tantramar Awful that NBC/SNL blocks Canada from their videos. I wonder if that is a deal between Global and NBC/SNL?
@benroyce FYI, it works on so many other video websites, too, great for so-called dvr'ing streaming tv and movies... ;) https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md
It's broken on Pluto, which was great for movies but still works for Tubi and many others. There are several yt-dlp gui downloaders, also, so you can easily pick the size of a video you want. Here's one that is on an old computer I use https://github.com/Kannagi0303/yt-dlp-gui
Enoch Blyton aka Robert Galbraith needs to get in the Bin. And fuck yeah, pirate the shit out of everything HP related 😈
@benroyce If you like streaming, thank a pirate. If you like music by the song, thank a pirate. The industry was dead set against allowing those things.
If you like classic arcade games, thank a pirate. MAME created the arcade revival.
If you like the Internet, thank a pirate for not having to rent a 1200 baud modem from the phone company. Pirates including a deaf person defied the ban on connecting personally owned gear to the telecom network.
