Good thing we’re not on Reddit then 😎
a) discussions aren’t a crime.
b) what are studios going to do to the hundreds of millions of daily pirates? Write stern letters?
c) they tried identifying us and sending us stern letters in 2001 and we all laughed, then kept pirating anyway.
b and c) Go after the ISPs who don’t disconnect the pirating users and sue them instead. Go after the deep pockets.
Or, perhaps it would be more cost effective to spend your money developing a way to access content that isn’t user-hostile. Then, suddenly, piracy wouldn’t be on the rise.
But how does that pay the shareholders?
It doesn’t. Fuck em.
Meh, more like eat em.
I know that you mean that sarcastically, and I agree. In the end, they could be happy with some passive income on old IPs but decide to be greedy instead.
Yeah it’s sarcasm ^^

Film studios must suck my cock, I say.
There’s like 2 decent movies released per year. I think people can do without.
No no you don’t get it. The point is to hoard the movies. Not to watch them!
They’re like Steam games: You collect more than you play.
I feel personally attacked. (/s)
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it. (/s)
Strange, my reddit account seems to have had all its posts and comments deleted and my IP leads back to Proton. Oopsy daisy. Get fucked clowns.
So glad I did that when they fucked with their api

Maybe, but at least Reddit is big enough it can say “no”. You have no rights B over whether it dies, but it can. A smaller device may not be able to afford to.
What would happen on Lemmy? I seriously doubt anyone hosting Lemmy could afford a legal battle with something that big.
A better argument is “shut the hell up”. You’re playing with fire by discussing something a place deems illegal, on a service under the legal jurisdiction deeming it illegal. You really can’t assume any right to privacy online. Use your VPN first, and discuss it in a jurisdiction where it is ok. Countries are better suited to “just say no”
What would happen on Lemmy?
You switch to a different instance that isn’t snitching on you, right? There’s already so many instances, big and small, that I don’t think it would be feasible for the movie people to go after all of them.
ok i REALLY need to delete my account there.
How often will this get reposted??
Often. Probably until a few years after the case is settled.
Until someone reads the article, so maybe a couple years or so.
In the immortal words of the insane clown posse, “fuck off.”
Non-western users, oh no…anyway

Or from a country where an IP address does not equal a person in the eyes of the law, and therefore you cannot be charged for copyright infringement based on IP address alone.

Where are these countries
Canada, for one.
Useful
Film studios say the darnest things, don’t they
