      I love to see people saying "Why are you dumb authors mad about piracy when it's your publishers that are the real predatory content thieves? Why aren't you organizing against them - or, better yet, going independent?" Near-total confidence born of near-total ignorance

      Some leftists take this strange fork in the road They start with "existing systems of wages and compensation are exploitative" And instead of going down "so we need broad systemic change to empower workers," they decide on "so workers should work for free"

      It's like they took "in a communist utopia everything will be free [because all needs will be provided for and workers will not be alienated from their labor]" and they went "great! So make everything free right now and we'll get to the rest later"

      Yeah again I have to credit @davidclowery for the observation that "all music should be free" is very conveniently immediately actionable, and people do a lot more to immediately act on it than the supposedly associated sentiment "All rent should be free, all food should be free"

      Like I dunno, if you pirate all your music to stick it to the Man but you paid for the MacBook, headphones and speakers you use to listen to it like a good boy then how much capitalism-smashing are you really doing Aren't Apple, Sennheiser and Bose capitalism

      Why didn't you even try to shoplift the laptop from the Apple Store, if you feel so strongly about it "Well, stealing a laptop is actually really dangerous, they could call the cops on me, I could get in real trouble Pirating music is consequence-free" Yeah... think about that

      It's just such a "nuance is for the bourgeoisie" thing Like pirate from Disney or Atlantic Records, pirate the $250 Rolling Stones Discography with Behind The Scenes whatever, but like... Not the youtuber with a thousand followers who's living on patreon and sales

      Yeah I literally don't care about people listening to pop music or watching rips of Marvel movies or bootlegging Tony-award winning Broadway shows or pirating AAA EA games (although the AAA games industry is imo much more rickety than the others and likely crack soon)

          What pisses me off is seeing someone say their indie film got a great review from an influencer that made them go mildly viral for a week or so and they got literally NO RENTALS out of it "Yeah people were just watching a rip off of Vimeo"
