      they are private companies that squeeze the libraries, the authors, the consumers, all of them - they squeeze the legal system itself, hell! to say nothing of the fact that the IA took down books if the author requested! dipshit could've sent an email!

      i can go play *thousands* of dos games on the internet archive itself, and they are *way* more popular than all this shit, and nobody involved with making them is shitting their pants - hell, lots of creators have seen it as intrinsic to their business and reselling!

      the guy who made 'where the water tastes like wine', a far more recent game - and even features Sting in it! - has a thread all about this, talking about the realities of piracy and where the problems are, and that this shit just isn't worth it!

      authors bitching about piracy are consistently aiming at the wrong fucking target. piracy is gonna happen no matter what. it's a whack a mole problem and doesn't help an author any to focus on it tons. the real problems facing them is **everybody is broke**.

      fucking goddamn no real wage increases in decades, people working 3 goddamn jobs including the authors themselves, cost of living skyrocketed into the fucking stratosphere, these same publishers getting *richer* the whole time. PIRATES aren't the problem here.

      The perceived value of labor in our society has been steadily driven towards zero, yes The Big Tech "information wants to be free" culture, it seems to me, is part of this It goes hand in hand with the gig economy mindset

      "part of this", lmao, to what degree, jeopardy boy, does some vaguely anarchist motherfuckers with a mediocre manifesto on their pirate website influence this shit, and not, y'know, the billionaire companies with all the control.

      Like all things, the pirates are the ones that they take aim at because they are less powerful than publishers

      Publishers are significantly less powerful than Google or Amazon, by a lot Hell music publishers are objectively far weaker than Spotify - they're getting screwed by Spotify at much as their artists So why are you so mad at them and not the tech companies

          Well, that's my point. The more powerful/bigger the culprit, the less impactful you are in comparison.

          So the natural inclination for everyone is to find the softest target and attack them bc better odds to win.
