Maybe in the mainstream, but the open source, socialist and anarchist communities that populate lemmy tend to be very critical of ideas like intellectual property and copy right.
I did not state my stance at all. You are assuming things my friend. I did not comment to weigh in with my opinion, I commented to challenge your assertion that “we” had decided something. Who is “we”?
You did, by starting off with “Who is we” you stated you’re breaking from the stance of my comment that you replied to and aligning yourself with the second part of your statement “Because it’s illegal and many don’t approve of it”
You guys are always so funny. You want to take the contrarian stance without actually taking the heat for the stance. You’re not fooling anyone except yourself, all the “well I didn’t state my stance so it’s impossible for you to know!”
Who is “you guys”? A lot of blanket generalizations being thrown around here.
I genuinely don’t know who original commenter meant by “we”. It’s certainly not “everyone”, and it’s not the legislators, or the big tech companies, or most people with IP to protect. So who is “we”?
And I don’t know who “you guys” is in your comment is either. What am I a part of? This grouping “us vs them” thing going on is so damn odd to me, genuinely.
I stated what is, in my view, just a fact to challenge a strange assertion made by someone on the internet and at no point did it get pushed back on, instead the focus was completely shifted to a completely assumed stance I have and personal attacks. How can anyone have conversations this way? It’s insane.
My stance on piracy is complicated. I used to do it a ton, I do it a lot less now but still do some. I won’t go into more detail than that because my personal opinion on piracy was never the point here and not why I commented.
Uh, who is “we”? Piracy is still illegal and not everyone approves of it.
Maybe in the mainstream, but the open source, socialist and anarchist communities that populate lemmy tend to be very critical of ideas like intellectual property and copy right.
Oh, you’re one of those weirdos that report people shoplifting at Walmart and probably was also the “Teacher, your forgot our homework” kids
Uh, no, and what a wild assumption to make from me stating a fact, unless you know something that I don’t?
You made it pretty clear what your stance is, legality is not an indicator of morality or ethicality
I did not state my stance at all. You are assuming things my friend. I did not comment to weigh in with my opinion, I commented to challenge your assertion that “we” had decided something. Who is “we”?
Everyone except you apparently.
I didn’t state my stance. It’s obviously not everyone as I said before.
You did, by starting off with “Who is we” you stated you’re breaking from the stance of my comment that you replied to and aligning yourself with the second part of your statement “Because it’s illegal and many don’t approve of it”
No, that’s not how that works. You still do not know my stance no matter how much you want to assume you do. Good day.
You guys are always so funny. You want to take the contrarian stance without actually taking the heat for the stance. You’re not fooling anyone except yourself, all the “well I didn’t state my stance so it’s impossible for you to know!”
So I’ll ask, what’s your stance on piracy?
