Comment on College Student Arrested for Selling Bocchi the Rock! Anime Keychains (She Made Total Profit Of 16$)
lazyViking@lemmy.world 2 days agoSo by your logic, if you pay for a stripper, you should own her for life? Or does paying for a temporary service not suddenly mean ‘ownership’ applies to everything?
Buying digital media means paying for licensed access (and to be fair, I miss buying the physical media because I got to keep it without interference, It doesn’t change anything about lost revenue), just like buying a ticket to a concert or hiring entertainment for a night. That doesn’t mean you ‘own’ the performer or the venue—it means you paid for the experience.
Piracy, meanwhile, is just skipping the payment entirely. Hope that helps!

Its about enshittacation. Everything we “own” online only becomes worse over time and permanently advertised buys are actually just temporary. Hope that helps!

It’s not about enshitification at all? It’s all about the point that piracy causes losses. Nothing else. Of course if piracy didn’t cause any losses, no one in the industry would actually be against it. Me, I’m all for it. For all the reasons stated in this thread for some reason. But I’m not sure why anyone keeps bringing it up, as the only talking point is that it fucking causes losses to the producers.
