  • I don’t think people understand, big companies don’t want copyright to go away. They want themselves to be untouchable while being able to make strikes against poor people. They probably also want to change it so unlike now where copyright is about coming first they’d rather it be about being rich.

    What big tech companies really want is the opposite of copyright abolition. They want control, they’ve always wanted control. Make no mistake, no matter how much they make it seem like it, they aren’t on the side of piracy.


  • Anyone is free to build it themselves. Someone could even distribute their own build from the same source under a different name completely legally.

    You could just as easily in the spirit of this community do it with the same name and code, same way they do it for cracked games. Don’t tell me it’s not done because there are security concerns, you have no way to tell if cracked games contain secret malware in them yet people still distribute and download those.

    They bank on users being lazy and then pay for the convenience.

    And also pirates to not outright rip them off, which seems to be working for some reason…
