    To further the thought experiment. I digitize my Blu-ray and put it on a private tracker to share with ONLY my friends. Is that piracy?

    Copywrite laws are antiquated at best and need to be destroyed at worst.

    If you need more proof look at bullshit like how Paramount+ until recently couldn’t show flagship shows like Picard in Canada because the rights were given to Crave.

    So as a consumer I want to go to the owner of the property and I can’t watch it because the owner told me they gave a copy of it to someone else.

      Original copyright was 7 years.

      It was publisher (and mostly Disney) greed that got it changed, against the will and interest of the people subject to penalties due to it.

      Every sale of copyrighted content after 7 years I now consider “theft” of the consumer and the public domain, enabled through government corruption.

      No one can convince me piracy is wrong while what publishers have done still affects us all.

        Copywrite needs to die. Yes I understand there’s a lot of nuance in that statement but I stand by it. Copywrite does nothing but further enable assholes to be assholes.
