  • So no matter how much one hates Rowling (I don’t, she’s done more good than evil by far still), she’s smarter and more decent than most of the humanity. That sucks.

    Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She’s not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she’s ever put out kinda slams the “smarter than most of humanity” line.















  • I would think that in general it comes down to understanding what “ownership” is and that it has been taken from us, replaced with “licensing”

    Your mistake is thinking that the average person

    1. Knows that this is happening/has happened, since it’s rarely clearly or prominently stated,
    2. Understands what it means, since it doesn’t often affect them,
    3. And in the uncommon scenario where both 1 and 2 are met: actually cares at all.

    It’s wild, because it used to be that you bought a movie and it didn’t matter that the rights ran out you could still watch your fucking movie in your own home.

    I understand the concern and I’m sure it does happen, but I have literally never heard this complaint from a single person that I actually know. What movies/services has this actually happened to?

    No argument against anything you said related to copyright laws, just to be clear.
