[Gast]

@petko

Been sailing the seas for around 30 yrs now. Will occasionally support a creator directly, but never corporations.

Copyright laws and patents are just ways for the rich to gatekeep access. They should be abolished altogether.

I mean, the European colonists also didn't give a fuck about copyright when they traveled across the globe, stealing left and right. And many of today's rich, who are whining about patents and copyright, have built their wealth on past thefts and exploitations to begin with.

@petko Nobody can be a pirate if nobody has a hard drive or RAM.

[Gast]

@petko Already gone back to it and finally cought up on the latest 3 series of Always Sunny which I couldn’t even find a streaming service for! Also going to catch up on Air Crash Investigation which again been impossible to source for about a decade now! Can’t even buy it!

[Gast]

@petko

Hahaha, yes! And they wonder why things go the way they do.

[Gast]

@petko Whenever I hear people complaint about people pirating from billionaires or big companies, I'm always reminded of this quote from South Park: 'Man must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before he acts selfishly, or else, I fear… recording artists will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury'

[Gast]

@petko I'll take purchase, thank you. Not that you can actually purchase and own much of anything anymore.

Netflix cancelled my subscription and stole my gift card balance of more than 50 Euros, telling me they won't refund it, because FUCK YOU!

This is so me now, because FUCK YOU Netflix!

[Gast]

@petko I would only be downloding for Legitimate interest to train my memory....

Now. What SHALL we do with the drunken sailor?

Way hay and up, she rises

[Gast]

@petko real.

[Gast]

@petko Piracy is a strictly superior way of watching any movies or shows, IMO

[Gast]

@petko We keep spendin’ most our lives livin’ in the pirate’s paradise

[Gast]

@petko trying to watch a popular series of movies & they've only got the 2 latest ones, not the rest, with the backstory

Streaming video could have been "one site, watch anything from a century of films", but no

[Gast]

@petko@social.petko.me "недоступно в вашей стране"

Ну и идите нахуй ​​

[Gast]

@petko Accurate.

[Gast]

@petko aaaah. I download everything.. So zero subscription

[Gast]

@petko

A similar case could be made about American IT and financial services. The near monopoly. Spyware. You are the product. Manipulation. Microsoft who shut down their services for an International Court judge on demand from the Trump administration. Economic integration weaponised for extortion.

Distrust is bad for business.

@petko ARRRR
