In the end it’s all just a linguistics game though - you’re profiting off the work somebody did, without paying the rate they charge for it.
But that’s exactly the kind of answer you’ll get in a community focused on piracy. Most people wouldn’t be here if they hadn’t already justified piracy.
Very nuanced take, I like it.
Stupid clickbait title. Here, saved you a click:
O’Connor told them they should call her accountant before they call 911.
“See, when the artists are dead, they’re much more valuable than when they’re alive. Tupac has released way more albums since he died than he ever did alive, so it’s kind of gross what record companies do,” she told PEOPLE at the time.
O’Connor continued, “That’s why I’ve always instructed my children since they were very small, ‘If your mother drops dead tomorrow, before you called 911, call my accountant and make sure the record companies don’t start releasing my records and not telling you where the money is.’”
No argument there. But given that they mostly popup in the context of “I think all nazis…”-circlejerks, that’s kinda to be expected.
countries that have better voting systems that allow for more than two parties are the exception, not the norm.
Are you sure about that? I have no numbers to back it up, but at least here in Europe many countries have more than two parties to choose from, and the winning parties form a governing coalition (alliance).
Unless by beter voting system you mean something like Ranked voting etc, in which case I agree, that is unfortunately very rare.
Haven’t come across that yet myself, but I did see lots of mentions of “nazis” to describe anything that’s not left-wing.
Which site has the least strawmen?
I know I shouldn’t go into comment sections of these kind of posts, but man is this depressing.
Not my opinion, but from what I’m seeing it seems more like in this thread: Left = Good, Right = Nazis
Wait, is “advocating death for” the evolution of “right to exist”? That sure escalated quickly.
I think that’s what they’re saying: in most of the world it’s used as a gradient/spectrum, just a few countries consider it absolutes (you’re either left or right).
They don’t need everyone to comply, just the vast majority.
Oh wow, it hadn’t even occurred to me such a subscription wouldn’t include the ability to watch on demand. That’s so last century.
You guys?
Eurasia is a single continent,
the distinction between the two is cultural.
Fully agreed there.
That sounds like a contradiction.
Edit: For everyone else who doesn’t bother to read the rest of the thread: it hadn’t occurred to me that buying HBO doesn’t include video on demand. But now I do. You don’t have to tell me. I know now. What I’m saying is you don’t need to tell me. Because I already know. So there’s no need to tell me, for I already know.
I wonder if op is still on Lemmy though ;)
I’ve applied for an account here like a week ago, and he hasn’t approved or rejected it.
I hope he hasn’t forgotten about this server :|
Does that refer to Izzy, or the people who complained because they expressed their opinion?
