I’m sure there’s a quid pro quo.

We will eventually scientifically determine the neurological impact of social media is both damaging long term and requires health treatment.

This isn’t about the content itself, it’s the addictive nature of how it’s delivered and the ability to rapidly manipulate people.

Let’s see, in the 80s we rapidly moved much of our technology manufacturing to China, and now we’re shocked that China has this knowledge?

Local motorsports in the US.

It’s a whack-a-mole of services which restream content, but the piracy services are also subscription based.

What about the small, local services that are just trying to pay the broadcast production bills and make a little cash to become viable businesses?

Fuck those people too?

Because these piracy services also affect them. These services restream the content taking away revenue from the small streaming services. In many cases we’re talking about volumes less than 100. So these restream services pop up, illegally use trademarks and copyrighted materials to advertise, and can reduce volumes enough that they are no longer viable.

Sometimes these things affect regular people trying to make life work too. Not just billionaire assholes who legitimately deserve the criticism.

Let me know when the EU collects it. I have my doubts.

When you’re never held accountable, this is what you would expect, correct?

When they are penalized, the punishment only reinforces that the crime was a good decision.
