Give me one reason to prove that the universe is apathetic. For context of my bias, I consider myself agnostic, so I really don’t lean either way regarding that question.
Regardless, you won’t be able to. Which makes your entire argument inherently invalid.
So it’s funny that you need to accuse me of being “backed into a corner” to get out of dodge of your own weird and contradictory standpoint. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, I suppose. I can’t imagine you’re very satisfied being utterly at odds with every spooky idea in your eyes like that though, instead of seeking common ground in a more courteous manner, or at least agreeing to disagree.
Additionally, and I realize this is the area you’re trying to goad me into, but there’s really nothing “emotional” per se about where I’m coming from here. I certainly have attachments to my beliefs and that gives me motivation to defend them, but at the end of the day you’re really just providing entertainment to me. Silly, if not dumb entertainment, but still. Conversely, and not to go “no, you”, but there’s definitely a lot of emotionally-charged rhetoric you seem to be leaning on with your groundless accusations and whatnot from whatever comes to mind (e.g. your initial sentence).
Anyway I’m going to leave you to your gaping void of pseudo-theory now because it’s starting to feel like I’m reading ChatGPT prompts with each of your responses (whether you’re actually using AI or not I really don’t care, it’s just getting monotonous). As I’ve said several times now you’re trying to assert your own framework of ideas as fact while simultaneously labelling me as solely doing so. Likely somewhat of a form of projection on your part, though I won’t psychoanalyze you too hard, nor will I claim it as objective for the sake of consistency. Thanks for the break in my doomscroll in any case.

You are demanding I prove a negative to win an argument about software licensing. That is the exact moment you lost the plot.
I do not need to prove the universe is apathetic. The burden of proof rests entirely on the person trying to claim that physical reality possesses a moral framework. Until you can demonstrate that a black hole, a carbon atom, or a quasar holds ethical standards, the scientific baseline is inanimate indifference. But more importantly, it is a massive red herring. The metaphysical state of the cosmos has absolutely zero bearing on the legal mechanics of copyright law and your failure to read a Terms of Service agreement.
You claim you aren’t backed into a corner, yet your final response completely abandoned the actual topic of the debate. You stopped talking about server maintenance, live-ops infrastructure, and intellectual property because you had no technical or legal counter-arguments left. You retreated into metaphysics and tone policing because the mechanical reality of digital ecosystems completely dismantled your claim to permanent ownership.
As for accusing me of sounding like an AI prompt; if presenting structured, coherent logic without emotional rambling reads as artificial to you, that says a lot more about the quality of internet discourse you are accustomed to than it does about my arguments. When someone runs out of actual points, they attack the formatting.
You can claim you are just entertained and doomscrolling to save face, but you spent this entire thread trying to frame a standard licensing dispute as a hypocritical betrayal of humanity, only to end up arguing about whether the universe cares about you.
Enjoy your doomscrolling. The End User License Agreement remains legally binding whether you philosophically agree with it or not.
Enjoy your perpetual victimhood and expect no further response from me.
