  • It’s more than the discs. It’s about the fact that you’re not owning what you purchase and you can spend as much as you like on digital and one day, poof, it’ll be gone and so will your money. Discs aren’t able to be deleted. Even if a format goes obsolete, there’s media players like vlc that will play them.

    That’s what it’s about.

    Like video games

    You can buy all the games you want on steam if goes away after 90 days that’s just how it is but when you buy a game for a system at a what 80$-120$ a game you expect to play it forever be able to play it when the wifi goes out, be able to play with your friends, be able to save your data but all that is online and they’re able to use that against the consumer.

    They took split screen, they forced us to use internet, they took memory cards, they dissolved servers. What more can they do oh yeah make it so we don’t actually own the game.


  • Okay we’ll fix this one by making an open source software that loads all the files into a 7zip before its runs the downloaded content. That way it has to compile everything before it runs essentially breaking it down before it gets, “repaired,” in a 7zip which holds the, “files to be compiled” but can still be ran separately.

    So, it would have no choice but to export everything to a 7zip.

    If someone made a web extension it could be used to do it to movies you purchased on streaming sites and it would rip the movies and compile it into a digital format the, “copyright,” would be broken by removing traces of copyright by coding said program to remove the encryption but also having it set to identify any company logos so it’ll convert the video into loading whatever you ripped into the format you want And it would remove logo’s or identifying markers from it.


  • Piracy is the shyt. 16 years ago I was downloading flstudio and Rollercoaster tycoon. I think I still have bioshock and the first two fallout games too. I gotta check. I got all my favorite shows and movies so I don’t have to use the internet or better yet have something to watch when the internet goes out.

    Piracy has saved me so much fucking money it’s unreal. After I got my first laptop I never went back to the movies until I got a girlfriend. I say to myself oh well this service doesn’t have it I bet I could find it though.

    Funny enough I downloaded a bootleg of that movie Obsession, great movie.

    Piracy isn’t the problem, it’s the societal factors that push us to use piracy. High ticket prices for movies, over 300$ software, buying something and realizing it’s a rental because it’s all digital and a company can rip it from you.

    WHO WOULDN’T TURN TO PIRACY!!!





  • No there’s value to what the commenter said… but like I said there also has to be some kind of thought into how you are processing because then the varying levels of processing matter. Like you said cooking is considered processing, while I gave the example of making a food oil.

    How you cook determines the amount of processing you will have to apply. How I make a food oil will determine the amount of processing I will need to apply.


  • I am not trying to invalidate you. I’m 33 and I think about how something is processed. Though, it’s prudent to keep in mind that the further you think about how something is processed, you will eventually come to the realizations about the levels of processing. For example: You could make your own olive, grape and peanut oil with less processing or more depending on how you do it.
