Want me to buy your media legally? Oh please, this is tremendously easy to do for a corporation!
- Downloadable files (you have files, right? Otherwise how are you streaming out the stuff)
- …with open codecs (you are using an open codec right? Otherwise you have to encode your stuff like 10 times for 10 different devices each with its own idiosyncrasy)
- …without DRM (you have clean copies right? it’d not be smart to base a business model on files you can’t open, see the above)
- …at an aggregate price that’s lower than paying for TV cable (you can cash in only a bit, right? It’s digital media and your competition is literally over-the-air TV with extra steps, it’s not like you have the mother of pearl of cancer cures here)
It’s impressive. Any other country in the world that was bombing two (2) (Dos) countries at a time nowadays would get hell of flack.
But not the 21st century Nazis, not them!
If Meta can pirate stuff, then the Internet Archive can pirate stuff and I can also pirate stuff. Fair is fair.
It said the 62-year-old had died from a “self-inflicted” wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Nothing to see here, citizen. Move along, and consoom Boeing.
So let me see if I get this straight:
Some guy robs you and since they can’t pay the settlement bill for robbing you, they are offering you a stakeholder position in their further crimes?
I took the liberty of reading the article but I’m gonna say the title is quite… tendentious. Makes it sound like it’s yet another one of those FUD / nutjob clickbait that have been coming at the privacy community for a few days with sensationalist titles such as “The CIA will stop funding Signal” (never has been) or “FBI wants to sell Wikipedia” (never has been).
What is going on?
EDIT: Cosmic Cleric has provided the definition of “tendentious”, which I have linked.
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!
