They don’t take people’s work. People give their work to them to sell it. You read too many conspiracy theories.
If there is no IP, the authors won’t be able to sell their books AT ALL. Which is certainly worse than Amazon taking most of their revenue share.

Amazon didn’t steal it. The author chose to sell it on the platform. The terms are very clear before engaging in the contract.
Also IP isn’t the problem here. IP doesn’t make Amazon act shitty.

So? You can have both.
Besides, most FOSS projects specify a license that forbids stealing the code and using it in ways to make profits while not contributing back or making the fork open themselves. These licenses protect the IP of the FOSS projects. There are countless lawsuits of FOSS projects against IP theft. Without IP, FOSS projects will have a hard time to justify their work.

Not true. You mean scientists employed by universities. I mean scientists working in R&D of companies.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 4 days ago:
Exactly. Without IP, scientists and researchers could only make a living through government funding. And that means governments also fully control the research and development. A free market needs IP. It’s fundamental.

This is not about being greedy. This is about incentives. IP enables billions of jobs.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 4 days ago:
People suggesting this are shortsighted and naive. Removing IP means that a lot of industries will no longer have the incentive to be innovative or creative as using other’s ideas is much cheaper. This will hamper productivity of our society in the long term.

Not every propaganda movie glorifies killing of innocent people. Such a thing would make very bad propaganda.
- Comment on A24's "Warfare" is now Certified Fresh with 94% on Rotten Tomatoes 6 days ago:
I haven’t watched the movie so I can’t say to what degree the movie covers what you’re saying. All I’m saying is that propaganda movies are not immediately bad. They can be enjoyable.
Most of these movies deliberately don’t cover the negative parts of the wars and only cover what’s relevant to the movie and audience. But that doesn’t mean they are an outright lie. For example, there was not much factually incorrect in American Sniper for example. They just didn’t show other aspects of the war and only aspects that were relevant to the plot. Turned out to be an entertaining movie that I wouldn’t have watched if it was depressing all the way through.

I have nothing against propaganda movies. Big military, big guns, lot of action. I enjoyed Top Gun and American Sniper aswell.

Tron was pretty cool and new visually at the time. I’d welcome a remake with a good plot too.

But it’s not going to happen. It’s so unbelievably stupid and impossible to implement.

- Comment on From Cleaner Bathrooms to Fewer Trailers, 5 Movie Theater Owners on Ways to Bring Audiences Back to Cinemas 2 weeks ago:
If nobody is watching at the big screen then less movies are made for the big screen, which drives more people away from the big screen. It’s a self-fullfilling cycle.

Controversial take but I like the trailers.

Popcorn is the only way they make money. Ticket revenue goes towards the film studios.
What do you suggest they do instead? Selling merch?

Then you just answered your question yourself…
Brings me back to my previous comment as to why you ask this question. Seems like you’re just here to make a statement rather than post a genuine question.
- Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"? 3 weeks ago:
Really? Why would it be a bad idea to bring a sign to a protest? Can’t think of any reason.

You can pirate your digital copy and support the artists in ways that don’t support streaming. You can buy blurays for example, rip them using MakeMKV to get a digital copy. It’s piracy, but it supports a business model that’s at least somewhat based on ownership.
- Comment on Why hasn't video quality improved much over the past ten years? 4 weeks ago:
No I’m also talking about resolution too. You can tell on 100 inches. On 100 inches a 1080p pixel is more than one millimeter in diameter. You can definitely see that when you sit 3 meters away from the screen. 4k will give you visibly more sharpness. Provided of course that you don’t butcher your movie with terrible bitrate compression.

Let’s stay on topic. I’d like to know from you how piracy protest can force studios to change their business models? Enlighten me.
The way I see it studios will double down on their shitty business practices the more people do piracy. The exact opposite of what pirate’s protests intend to accomplish. Because the only people who are left paying are paying for the shitty business models. So shitty business practices are the most profitable way. Instead of not paying at all, a better solution would be to pay for good alternative solutions. Like buying merch, buying blurays, going to theatres. If everyone does that, shitty business practices will become unprofitable.
