Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)

So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.

EU withheld a study that shows piracy doesn't hurt sales - Engadget

In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU

A new report out of the UK once again deflates the common narrative that pirates are exclusively looking to obtain free stuff.

From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....

"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."

This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

[messybritches]

People dont like landlords and blame them , as if the landlord is in charge of the housing system. If a landlord price gouges, then yeah fuxk em. If they dont fix anything, fuxk em!

But there are some who price homes below market rate for those who DONT QUALIFY FOR SUBSIDIZE HOUSING, which is the majority of folks, and you out here fuxkin with them! Then wonder why the few affordable homes arent available anymore. And you stuck with horrible conglomerates instead of understandable mom and pop shops. There are people who are using their land, some with small lots who are building affordable adus for folks. And you fuxkin with them!

To qualify for section 8 vouchers is expensive effort that most larger real estate companies can afford, but folks who just have 1 property and they are renting it out, being fair, yall will mess with them.

Black investor Julian Brown Explains Why Patenting Your Invention Is The Dumbest Move You Can Make😳💡🗣️📜

[messybritches]

He’s not wrong but yall better not fall for anything. A key fob and a coca cola recipe are two different things.

Make sure you know which proprietary knowledge falls under which , also patents helps your company create proprietary assets which are needed when you want to sell it off or seek investors. Just know when to use either a trade secret vs patent.

Following reports that a 20-year-old man had been arrested for throwing a Moltov cocktail at Sam Altman’s home, the suspect stated Monday that he only initiated the attack because he was following a ChatGPT recipe for risotto. “I’ve been using ChatGPT to help with cooking for a while now, so I didn’t think too much of it when the ingredients list included a bottle filled with gasoline and a cloth wick,” said the alleged attacker, who added that he naturally assumed making the rice dish involved driving several hours to the OpenAI CEO’s residence, especially after the AI chatbot had given him a “pretty decent” sesame chicken recipe the week before.
