    I am going to come out and say it just so we're clear In college and for a long time after I was the biggest pro-piracy anti-IP Free Culture guy in the world I worshiped at the altar of Lawrence Lessig I came to basically regret all of ithttps://twitter.com/SJRogue/status/1271637852074450944 …

    I'm just wondering how many of the people now siding with Wendig and the publishers had also sided with Lars Ulrich and the music industry against Napster. It seemed like a lot more people were pro-piracy back then.

        And it's not because I, personally, have any revenue-producing IP to protect It's 100% from talking to actual human beings who did and getting the slow creeping feeling of being a huge asshole every time I tried to debate an actual creator about it

        Anyway the article that really gut punched me and made me feel like my position was unsustainable was this viral @davidclowery piece from 2012, and all my arguments are paraphrases of his, so read it:http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/letter-to-emily-white-at-npr-all-songs-considered/ …

        (And I'm still chewing over the sheer gall it takes to say "Well you're all stupid! You're all brainwashed and stupid and don't understand who your real enemy is!" straight to the face of a group of published authors And this is something copylefters do *on the reg*)

        I still have anti-IP sentiments, but not pro-piracy. Disrupting a system has a cost, and if you can't actually present your alternative in detail you don't get to tear down the status quo. Same reason I'm not a leftist TBH.

        I'm not opposed to IP law in general, but I'm viciously opposed to the specific framework the US has tried to foist on everyone. I'm more willing to be hostile to piracy in a world with more realistic IP law.

        I agree, the idiotic masses almost had free information. Thanks for keeping the downtrodden in their place.

        I still kinda support EFF and FSF. But the central problem is they’re too dogmatic. They’ve become religions. They have certain very good points, like not being locked out of hardware you own, but then have some terrible takes about all software or all IP.

        FWIW, I think piracy’s usually not great, but also — we’re probably all better off if we don’t clamp down on it too much? There are game cartridges that don’t work anymore and interactive CD-ROMs that won’t play in modern computers, and I wonder how much culture will… vanish?

        There are episodes of Doctor Who that are just… lost. Some only exist in audio recordings from fans. When I look at streaming services where all the content is digital and ephemeral, I wonder if piracy is the only way the content will survive the destruction of those services.
