️🦜 is such a fun motif 🥰 I love the pirate theme around this petty crime it makes me feel cool and sexy for downloading movies lol -
@blogdiva piracy is one of the thing that makes me believe in the good and collective nature of people
it's pretty communist, tbh.

@blogdiva I may have said out loud in one of the classes that I teach: it’s not wrong to steal (share) from unethical capitalist companies.

What would be even more anti-capitalist would be to boycott privative culture en masse and let Big Media go bankrupt. But so many social interactions and cultural references have been steadily wrapped by the market around the entertainment industry, that fully boycotting them is practically considered a social suicide nowadays. -

@blogdiva Seriously. How dare creators expect to be paid for their work?

@blogdiva i'm not pirating i'm just training my model.
(it me. i'm the model.)
@neurovagrant @blogdiva the term "large language model" is a technically valid way to describe our mental framework of how language works.

@csolisr but the opposite is true. anyone who participates in killing bad faith companies this way I recognise as an elite human being whose voice I will always listen to over others for LIFE.

@blogdiva well said. this is a good approach to punish exploitative publishers for existing.
but for self-published independent creators, paying them is something we should all be proud to do.
"piracy" was never a relevant word. Teach didn't go around making copies of recovered resources. piracy is just stealing.
but you cannot steal from an exploiter because an exploiter has no right to exist. so yeah, help yourself to everything any exploitative publisher has. it is free for all.

@blogdiva I called into a WNYC talkshow when Napster was being taken to court and made a similar argument about piracy/sharing not being a crime. They thought I was crazy. Admittedly my argument sounded better in my head until I opened my mouth, live on air.

@blogdiva I believe that knowledge should be free and open. At the same time, I also believe that authors and creators should be compensated for their work.
I pirate not because of moral high ground, but because everything is so gosh darn expensive now.
Which is why I find it crazy that that billion dollar companies ~~pirate knowledge~~ train their models and sell their services for profit

@blogdiva that's true, but also if I wanted to demonize sharing, I wouldn't give it a super badass name like "pirating" so that's capitalism's fault to make us look cool.

@blogdiva i wholeheartedly agree with you, but also I've always wanted to be a pirate and SHARING is probably my best chance to get anywhere close to that.
