      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*)

      Copyright needs dramatic reform. So does publishing as an industry. But stealing all the stuff isn't going to do anything to fix that.

      It's fucking insane hearing pro-piracy people talk about how exploitative publishers are for taking 85% of the cover price of a book and only leaving 15% as royalties Okay but you gave me $0, and both 15% and 100% of $0 is still $0, so who the fuck cares

          Exactly. If the people who were pirating were, say, sending money directly to producers, they'd be more credible. But they aren't, they're just stealing.

          I used to pirate a lot. But even then I never felt good about it. Sure I gave myself the same excuses; "I'm sticking it to the RIAA/MPAA for their horrible tactics", etc. But I at least would try to send some money to the artist by buying a band tshirt or something.
