I feel like they should be paying more per thing viewed than I do as a human

They pressured the RSS guy to kill himself for scraping stuff and freely sharing, by threatening him with a stupid amount of jail time.

which guy was this?

[-] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

Aaron Schwartz. Had some dubious libertarian-approaching ideas but he believed in total freedom of information. He downloaded and redistributed a shitload of content off JSTOR illegally because he felt that paywalling scientific studies was bad, was caught, and committed suicide when facing an unbelievably harsh sentence from a rabid DA.

Also this is literally an argument in favour of pirating textbooks, since they're used for training

[-] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

No, you see, that's training for yucky meatspace fleshbots which is bad. What we're training is the benevolent machine overlord.

i have a hard time caring about capitalist infighting.

copying isn't theft, this stuff is only bad because corporations are doing it for profit while the rest of us need to work for a living or die.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Yeah exactly, i also hate copyright, but not for the same reasons.

I'm not pirating tv shows, I'm just downloading them to train my biological neural network

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

They’re right and the models should be open and unchained so I can make photorealistic genocide joe sucking off a popsicle wearing the Lolita glasses.
