Can we do a “Cut Off” for CEOs? (French Style 😏)
They would sentence you to death while demanding that you pay for your own execution.
People wouldn’t pirate your shit if it was easily and cheaply available
Absolutely diabolical. Cutting off internet access is no different than cutting of electricity in modern society. Sure, you can live without it, but everything from paying your bills to getting a job or having a social life just got a whole lot harder. Fuck anyone who thinks this is a reasonable response.
The cruelty is the point
Maybe Sony should have some things cutoff for that root kit, hmmm?
Is music piracy is still a major thing these days? I’ve not even considered it for years, because every music streaming platform has all the music, it seems.
Movie and TV show piracy must be so much more rampant because of the fragmentation creating inconvenience to consumers.
Music piracy isn’t rampant at all. It’s the “immigrant crime is out of control” of the internet.
If anything, youtube is the biggest sharer of pirated music. You can listen to anything on it for free, from anyone.
And download all the music you want without an account using yt-dlp.

It’s honestly easier than torrents.
It’s mostly hipsters with modded iPods, everyone else just streams music. You can stream it in lossless quality on some platforms and download most played songs to your device if your mobile bandwidth is limited.
Hell I’m a weird hipster who likes to have local copies of things and even I’ve given up.
I use Foobar and Plexamp to listen to my FLAC collection. I have a lot of magazine CD inserts not readily available on the streaming platforms. Just feels really good knowing companies like Spotify aren’t making a dime off me.
as digitized almost all societal functions are, we really should define basic internet access as a human right.
Japanese corporate culture is fucking terrible. I don’t understand how anyone can support these gaming companies.
Edit: Gaming/Entertainment
UMG and Warner Bros are Japanese? Lol
Japanese corporate culture is atrocious ≠ American corporate culture isn’t atrocious
Both need some major reforms in order to be just non-awful, let alone acceptable.
My point is more that what they wrote didn’t make sense talking about Japanese corporations when more American companies are listed. The entertainment industry is simply awful, nationalities aside.
