It’s definitely AI. It released like 5 albums in 2025.

If only lemmy posts showed up on search engines, reddit would be finished.

This doesn’t eliminate the paradox. Why does the contract exist in the first place?

It’s a moral standard. If moral people didn’t decide that tolerance was a good thing for society, the contract wouldn’t exist.

So yes, thinking about it as a contract sidesteps the paradox, but the paradox still exists.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn’t be nearly as popular.

They’re shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through “illegal” means.
