Archiving digital media is making backups and copies. That is what archiving those things is intrinsically, immutably.

Making backups and copies is also what the IP owners would refer to as piracy.

You cannot be pro-internet-archive and anti-piracy at the same time, at least not fully. They are contradictory positions.

So are you morally opposed to all the crap disney has done to ruin the public domain for entire generations?

That seems worse than pirating a disney movie to me.

"all theft is wrong" nah.

If the starving guy from your example stole food from jeff bezos to survive then that is morally correct theft.

When it comes to the legality of most things hosted on websites, that is how it works. The legality of piracy is different, for no reason.

Too many people in this thread are basically saying "discussing/assisting with piracy is illegal, move on" while having no opinion whatsoever on whether or not that is a just law. They just base their morality on what is legal and I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY WHY THAT CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.

"open discussion" "derailing responses"

What?

And now the account that redirected all of lemmy.world has been banned from lemmy.world for ban evasion.

This whole thing is weird

Anger against conservatives is righteous anger and moral. Making verbal arguments is not "fights" as you are presenting it.

Picking fights is literaly the only way political change is possible. Being polite when political opponents are hostile on a philosophical level is counterproductive and self-destructive.

Lmao rational? He is just a goofy guy that talks about what he thinks is cool and can't stop believing any bullshit he gets told. "Woke" is a dumb word but at least that part of your opinion makes sense as a description of the podcast.

I was confused at first because I thought the name of the podcast show was "This asshole just posted"

Now I do wanna listen to that podcast but it doesn't exist

I mean, define "ok" in this context

Will chrome kill you? No

Will chrome physically hurt anyone else because you used it? No

Will the internet become less free if google is able to successfully force this? Yes

Does using chrome contribute to this? Yes, marginally

Would as many people as possible switching off of chrome and chromium and onto an alternative help? Yes

I find this whole thing an interesting argument, as someone who switched from chrome to firefox for extremely unrelated reasons months ago.

I appreciate your anger

But you should be careful with absolute words like "every". Wouldn't want your message to be detracted by someone with a technicallity to fellate (someone like me except they disagree with you).
